Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the free online text summarizer.

Paste your text, choose how many sentences to keep and click Summarise. The tool scores every sentence and returns the best ones in order.
Each sentence scores by how often its content words appear, plus a bonus for early position and a penalty for being very short.
No. It is extractive, so every sentence in the result is copied from your own text. It never writes new wording of its own.
The scoring is purely statistical, so a sentence that matters but repeats few common words can fall below the cut-off.
It compares the words in the summary with the words in your original text, so a high figure means a much shorter result.
Three to five sentences suits a news article, while a longer report may need seven or ten to stay readable.
The stop word list is English, so other languages still work but common words are not filtered out and the ranking is weaker.
No. Everything is scored in your browser with plain JavaScript, so your text never leaves your device.
Yes, but the browser does the work, so texts of many thousands of words may take a moment to score.
