Frequently asked questions
How does this summarizer work?
It is extractive, not generative: it counts how often meaningful words appear, scores every sentence by the words in it, and returns the highest-scoring sentences in their original order. It never writes new sentences.
Does it use AI?
No. There is no server and no AI model involved — the word-frequency scoring runs entirely in your browser, and your text never leaves your device.
Why does it need at least 3 sentences?
A summary picks the best sentences from what you paste. With fewer than 3 sentences there is nothing meaningful to choose between, so the tool asks for more text.
Will the summary keep the original meaning?
Usually the main points survive, because the most repeated key words mark the most important sentences. But nuance can be lost — always read the summary before using it. Use it as a free text summarizer online — no signup, nothing to install.
