Frequently Asked Questions

Key Sentences mode extracts the most important sentences from your text and presents them as numbered points or bullet points. Paragraph mode generates a new, flowing paragraph that captures the main ideas in a cohesive narrative. Choose Key Sentences for quick scanning and Paragraph for readable summaries.

Free users can summarize up to 2,000 words per request. Premium subscribers get extended word limits for longer documents like research papers, reports, and book chapters.

When you add keywords, the AI gives extra weight to sentences and ideas related to those terms. For example, if you add "revenue" and "growth" as keywords for a business report, the summary will prioritize financial information over other topics.

Custom mode (Premium only) lets you give the AI specific instructions for how to generate the summary. For example, you can say "summarize as bullet points focusing on financial data" or "write a one-paragraph executive summary in formal tone."

Our AI-powered summarizer captures the key ideas and main arguments from your text with high accuracy. However, we recommend reviewing the summary to ensure no critical details are missing, especially for academic or legal documents where precision is essential.
