Shorten Your Text: Get the Gist Instantly
Condense long articles, reports, or meeting notes into a readable summary in seconds.
π‘ How It Works
Cut through the noise without losing the signal. This tool uses an extractive algorithm to identify key sentences based on keyword density and positioning. Instead of paraphrasing, it filters your text to highlight the most significant points, helping you stay informed without reading every word.
Perfect for scanning news, drafting executive summaries, or hitting character limits on social platforms like X.
π Pro Tips
- Adjust the length: Choose "Short" for quick takeaways or "Detailed" to retain more context.
- Check your punctuation: The algorithm identifies sentences using periods and exclamation marks. Use proper punctuation for the best results.
- Front-load your text: The tool prioritizes the beginning of your input, where the main thesis usually lives.
π§ FAQ
Is this generative AI like ChatGPT? No. This is an "extractive" summarizer. It doesn't "write" new sentences; it identifies and selects the most important ones from your original text.
Is my data private? Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser via JavaScript. Your text is never uploaded to a server or stored in the cloud.
Why does the summary use original sentences? That is the definition of an extractive summarizer. By sticking to your original wording, the tool ensures factual accuracy and eliminates the risk of "AI hallucinations."
π Extractive vs. Abstractive Summarization
There are two primary ways to shorten text: 1. Extractive: Like a highlighter, it identifies and pulls existing sentences. 2. Abstractive: Like a human writer, it rephrases the content to create new sentences.
While abstractive AI is popular, Extractive Summarization remains the gold standard for researchers, legal professionals, and analysts. It preserves the authorβs original intent and wording, making it the most reliable way to condense information without introducing external bias.
