Get to the important part
Paste something long. You get back the sentences that carry the meaning, kept exactly as they were written and still in their original order.

How the extraction works
The text is split into sentences. Every word is scored by how often it appears once the common connecting words are set aside, so the vocabulary the text keeps returning to counts for more. Each sentence then inherits the average score of the words it contains, with a small bonus for sitting near the opening, where writers tend to state their point. The highest-scoring sentences are shown in their original order, so the result still reads as a passage rather than a shuffled list.
Nothing is rewritten and nothing is sent anywhere. Sentences are lifted exactly as they were written, and the whole calculation happens in your browser, so the text never leaves your device.
Extractive and abstractive summaries
| Extractive | Abstractive | |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Selects existing sentences | Writes new sentences |
| Accuracy | Cannot invent anything | Can drift from the source |
| Reads like | Highlights in a document | A person's summary |
| Best for | Minutes, contracts, research, anything where wording matters | Explaining something to a new audience |
The tool above is extractive, which is the safer choice when the exact wording carries weight and a paraphrase could quietly change the meaning.
Writing so the important part is easy to find
- Put the conclusion in the first sentence, then the reasoning. Journalists call it the inverted pyramid, and it survives being cut from the bottom.
- Give each paragraph one idea, stated in its opening line.
- Say what you want to happen next, and who is meant to do it, in plain words.
- Keep the sentence that matters short. Length reads as hedging.
Common questions
Does this rewrite my text?
No. It selects whole sentences from what you paste and shows them in the order they appeared. Nothing is paraphrased, so no meaning can drift.
How does it decide which sentences matter?
Words are scored by how often the text uses them, setting common connecting words aside. Each sentence takes the average score of its words, with a small bonus for appearing early, where writers usually state their point.
What is the grade level figure?
It is a readability estimate based on sentence length and syllable count. Around eight to ten suits general audiences; above fourteen the text is demanding for most readers.
Is my text private?
Yes. The whole calculation runs in your browser and nothing is transmitted or saved.
