What is a full stop counter?

A full stop counter (also called a period counter or dot counter) scans text and tallies every full stop found. It helps writers, editors or developers check their punctuation use or find rogue dots in a string. You can use it to count full stops in text or to run a dot counter on code snippets.

Are full stops, periods, and dots the same?

Yes, these are interchangeable terms. A period is the same character as a full stop. This tool functions as a full stop counter, dot counter, or period counter.

  • Press the Count button to count the full stops / periods / dots.
  • Review the extra counts shown if needed: words, characters, sentences and lines.
