About this tool

A quick summary can help you review a long note before editing, but it should not replace human judgment. This tool uses a simple extractive method: it scores sentences by repeated meaningful words and returns selected original sentences. It does not invent new wording, make claims, or understand context like a person would.

How to use it

  1. Paste the text you want to reduce and choose how many sentences the summary should contain.
  2. Click summarize and compare the selected sentences against the original.
  3. Edit the result before publishing, especially if the source includes names, numbers, promises, or sensitive detail.

Tips and common mistakes

  • Short, repetitive source text may produce a weak summary because there is not enough signal to rank.
  • Use the result as a draft outline, then rewrite it for tone, accuracy, and flow.
  • Never summarize legal, medical, financial, or policy text without checking the full source.

FAQ

Is this AI-generated writing?

Will it understand meaning perfectly?

Can I summarize private notes?

Processing happens in the browser, but avoid sensitive material unless that is appropriate for your device and workflow.
