About Text Summarizer

The Text Summarizer shortens a long article, report or email down to its most important sentences. It ranks every sentence with TF-IDF and keeps the highest scoring ones, so the summary is built only from sentences that already exist in your text; it does not write anything new. Handy for students condensing notes. Your text stays in the browser.

How to use Text Summarizer

  1. Paste your article, chapter or long email into the box; the summary updates as you type.
  2. Drag the Summary length slider to choose how many of the original sentences to keep, from 10% to 60%.
  3. Tick Bullet points if you want each kept sentence on its own line instead of one paragraph.
  4. Check the counter under the output to see how many sentences and words you saved.
  5. Copy the summary or download it as a .txt file.

What people use it for

  • Students turning a long chapter or set of class notes into a short revision list.
  • Getting the gist of a news article or a government circular before reading it fully.
  • Pulling the key lines out of a long client email or a meeting transcript.
  • Drafting a short description or excerpt for a blog post from the full article.

Good to know

This is extractive summarization: it selects existing sentences and never rewrites or paraphrases them. English works best, because the stopword list and the scoring are tuned for it; Hindi and other Indic text will run but the picks are weaker. Very short inputs, bullet lists and tables give poor results, so feed it proper paragraphs.

Frequently asked questions

Does it use ChatGPT or any AI service?
No. It uses a classic TF-IDF sentence-ranking algorithm written in JavaScript that runs on your device. No text is sent anywhere, and there is no API key, sign-up or daily limit.
Will it write the summary in its own words?
No. It only picks the strongest sentences from what you pasted, so the wording stays yours. If you need rephrasing, take the output into a writing tool afterwards.
What summary length should I choose?
Start at 30%. Drop to 10-20% for a headline-level gist of a long article, and raise it to 50-60% when the text is dense and nearly every paragraph carries something you need.
Is there a word limit?
There is no fixed limit. Very long documents, beyond roughly fifty thousand words, may make the page pause briefly while scoring, because all the work happens in your browser tab.
