About the Sentence Extractor
Splitting on full stops is the obvious approach and it fails immediately. "Dr. Patel arrived at 3.15 p.m. on Tuesday" contains four full stops and one sentence. Get that wrong and every downstream count is wrong with it.
This splits properly. Abbreviations, initials, decimal numbers, ellipses and quoted sentence endings are all handled, so the boundaries land where a reader would put them. Sentences can be numbered, filtered by length, and sorted — and putting one sentence per line is itself one of the most effective editing views there is, because a run-on sentence is instantly visible when it occupies four lines and its neighbours occupy one.
Key features of the Sentence Extractor
Abbreviations handled
"Dr. Patel arrived at 3.15 p.m." stays one sentence, which naive splitting turns into four.
Quoted endings kept
A closing quote after a full stop belongs to the same sentence, not the next one.
Sort longest first
Which puts the run-on sentences at the top, where they can be dealt with.
Length shown per sentence
So the ones dragging your readability score are immediately identifiable.
CJK punctuation supported
Full-width sentence endings are recognised, so Chinese and Japanese text splits correctly.

Frequently asked questions
Common abbreviations, single-letter initials and decimal numbers are recognised and their full stops are excluded from consideration before the split runs.
A closing quote or bracket immediately after a full stop is treated as part of the same sentence, so "He said, 'Stop.'" is one sentence rather than two.
Because length becomes visible. A sentence that runs to four lines while its neighbours take one is obviously too long, which is very hard to see inside a justified paragraph.
Full-width CJK sentence-ending punctuation is recognised, so Chinese and Japanese text splits correctly. The abbreviation list is English, so other Latin-script languages may split at an abbreviation.
