Best Summary Generator | Tools Tested & Reviewed

Published on May 6, 2024 by Jack Caulfield . Revised on May 21, 2024.

A summary generator (also called a summarizer , summarizing tool , or text summarizer ) is a kind of AI writing tool that automatically generates a short summary of a text. Many tools like this are available online, but what are the best options out there?

To find out, we tested 11 popular summary generators (all available free online, some with a premium version). We used two texts: a short news article and a longer academic journal article. We evaluated tools based on the clarity, accuracy, and concision of the summaries produced.

Our research indicates that the best summarizer available right now is the one offered by QuillBot . You can use it for free to summarize texts of up to 1,200 words—up to 6,000 with a premium subscription.

1. quillbot , 2. resoomer , 3. scribbr , 4. sassbook , 5. paraphraser , 6. tldr this , 7. rephrase , 8. editpad , 9. summarizing tool , 10. smodin , 11. summarizer , research methodology, frequently asked questions about summarizers.

• Produces the clearest and most accurate summaries
• Summarizes text in a creative way, combining sentences
• Can summarize long texts (up to 6,000 words with premium)
• Options for length, format of summary, and keywords to focus on
• Highlights text that was used in the summary
• Summaries occasionally include errors
• Premium costs $19.95 a month (but gets you a variety of other tools)

We found QuillBot’s summarizer to be the most effective tool available right now. Its technology is more advanced and creative than any other tool’s. It offers a Key Sentences mode and a Paragraph mode; we found the Paragraph mode to be the most useful.

This mode effectively combined information from multiple sentences to produce a concise and clear summary. In the premium version, it was also able to summarize the longer testing text very effectively. The tool usefully highlights text from your input that was used in the summary, and it allows you to pick keywords to focus on if you want a summary of a specific theme.

We did notice some errors even in this tool: it occasionally misunderstood the meaning of the text or combined sentences in a way that was misleading. On one occasion, it seemed to introduce a typo (“collectiveists”) that wasn’t present in the original text.

• Relatively clear and accurate summaries
• Summarizes creatively, combining sentences
• A variety of modes and options
• Can summarize long texts (no word limit as far as we could tell)
• Confusing interface with irrelevant features
• Summaries of long texts are long-winded and split across multiple pages
• Only the premium mode ($10.57 a month) is useful

We found that Resoomer, though significantly less powerful than QuillBot, was stronger than other competitors—at least, if you pay for its premium mode. Like QuillBot, it generated creative summaries that combined information from different sentences in a relatively fluent way.

It was able to summarize the long text, but the summary it produced was overly long and spread across multiple pages we had to click between, limiting its usefulness. Resoomer offers a variety of modes, but they are presented in a rather confusing way and all of the free modes are very basic, just picking out sentences from the text rather than generating an original summary.

The mode we found useful was the “Assisted” mode, which is unfortunately only available with a premium subscription. We also didn’t find a use for the unusual “More words” button, which generates a continuation of the summary, seemingly not based on anything in the text.

Try Resoomer

• Produces clear and accurate summaries (powered by QuillBot)
• Can’t summarize long texts (limit of 600 words)

Scribbr’s summarizer is powered by QuillBot technology, which means that it offers the same modes, options, and quality-of-life features such as highlighting text used in the summary. And it produces similarly creative summaries: clear, concise, and fluently written.

The Scribbr summarizer does have one key limitation compared to the QuillBot tool: it cannot handle longer texts, since it has a limit of 600 words per input. The Scribbr tool is free, with no sign-up required and no premium version available right now.

Try Scribbr’s summarizer

• Relatively fluent and creative summaries
• Can summarize long texts (up to 22,000 characters with premium)
• Provides options for length and format of summary
• Very expensive subscription ($39 a month)
• Adds unnecessary verbiage (“Authors say that …”)
• Fairly cluttered interface
• Summaries sometimes misleading or hard to follow

We found that Sassbook provided relatively creative summaries, combining information from different sentences in a similar way to QuillBot or Resoomer. But we found the results less clear than in those tools.

Especially for the longer text, we saw that Sassbook summaries were not very coherently structured, presenting information in a somewhat random order that was hard to follow. We also noticed the tool’s tendency to insert unnecessary text such as “Authors say that …”

Moreover, the tool can only handle longer texts if you pay for a premium subscription, and we found the premium subscription to be unreasonably priced at $39 a month. Perhaps if you find the other tools included in the subscription useful, it could be worth the price. For the summarizer alone, it certainly isn’t worth it, and there are much better and cheaper options out there.

• Creative summaries with use of note-style language
• Summaries are usually relatively clear and accurate
• Can’t summarize long texts (no word limit stated, but didn’t work with our long text)
• Summaries are too long, and length controls make little difference
• Note-style summaries may not be what you want
• Some confusing moments in summaries

Paraphraser’s summarizer is a free tool with no premium options. It offers two modes, “Summarizer” and “AI Summarizer”; the difference isn’t clearly explained, but in our experience, AI Summarizer produced much better results. Summaries produced in this mode were creative but rough, using note-style language (e.g., omitting articles, using abbreviations) in a way we didn’t see in other tools.

Other options were available but made little difference to the output. Selecting different lengths of summary made very little difference in practice, and the alternative “Bullets” mode presented the same text as the “Paragraph” mode, but in bullet points. Because summary length couldn’t be effectively adjusted, summaries were always longer than we would have liked: over half the length of the full text.

There were also some confusing errors in the output: summaries would often end with a sentence like “Please shorten this text” that clearly shouldn’t be there. And although no word limit is mentioned, the tool didn’t work for our longer text in practice, summarizing only the first 1,000 words.

Try Paraphraser’s summarizer

• 10 free “AI” summaries to start with
• Can summarize the long text
• Just selects a few sentences from the text, producing no original summary
• Costs $4 a month for premium options (100 summaries a month)
• Premium options not noticeably better than free version
• Options (e.g., “short” or “detailed” modes) not noticeably different

The TLDR This tool seems to operate in a very basic way, just taking a few sentences from the text and presenting them in the order in which they originally appeared. It does not combine or paraphrase information in a creative way, even in its premium “AI” mode, which we found produced results nearly identical to those of the free “key sentences” mode.

Like some other tools, it can pick out keywords from the text. But the keywords selected are sometimes not very logical (e.g., “Percent Last Year”), and clicking on them just googles them rather than doing anything in the tool itself. We also did not notice any significant differences between the “short” and “detailed” modes.

Because of its very basic approach and the lack of noticeable differences between its modes, we don’t advise paying for TLDR This.

Try TLDR This

• Can’t summarize the long text (no word limit stated, but didn’t work in practice)
• No options for different lengths or formats of summary

Like TLDR This, Rephrase’s summarizer seemed to just select sentences from the text and present them in the same order again, without any creative recombination of information. In this case, the only way it modified the text was by putting the paragraph breaks at different points.

Rephrase’s tool is free, but, as mentioned, it’s extremely basic. It also lacks any options to change the length or format of the summary. As with other tools like this, the sentences it selects feel very random and often make no sense out of context, meaning the “summary” provided is effectively useless.

No word limit is indicated in the tool, but in practice we found that it could only summarize the first 1,500 words of our longer text. We also found the interface somewhat cluttered with ads.

Try Rephrase’s summarizer

• Can summarize the long text (stated limit of 10,000 words, seems to be 9,000 in reality and much lower in premium mode)
• Premium mode ($30 for a month) is indistinguishable from free mode apart from having a lower word limit and  fewer  options
• Messy interface

Editpad was one of the worst tools we tested: like Paraphraser’s tool, it offered a “Summarizer” mode (which seems identical to Paraphraser’s tool) and an “AI Summarizer” mode (only available with a $30 premium subscription in the case of Editpad).

But Editpad’s AI Summarizer mode seems worse than the free mode. The results in both modes are very basic, seemingly just selecting some sentences from the text and presenting them in the same order. The AI Summarizer mode differed in only two ways that we noticed: it could not summarize the long text (the free mode could), and it did not have any options regarding the length of the summary.

It’s not clear why Editpad charges money for a tool that seems to be much worse than the (already poor) tool they offer for free, but we strongly advise against paying for it.

Try Editpad’s summarizer

• Just selects sentences from the text and presents them in random order
• Summary of long text is very long

Summarizing Tool is a free tool that doesn’t really produce coherent summaries. Like many other tools, it just chooses some sentences from the text rather than generating an original summary. Even worse, though, it shuffles the sentences into a random order, making the text difficult to follow.

It’s not clear how this kind of “summary” could be useful, since it’s much harder to understand than if the sentences were presented in their original order.

Additionally, while the tool could summarize the long text, its summary in this case was also very long. What you get is essentially an incoherent jumble of ideas that is not even particularly short.

Try Summarizing Tool

• Can choose length of summary
• “Abstractive” and “extractive” modes not noticeably different
• Summary loads slowly
• $5 a month for premium version

Smodin’s summarizer seems to do effectively the same thing as Summarizing Tool: picking sentences from the text and presenting them out of order. In “abstractive” mode, we did notice it sometimes made slight changes to sentences, such as removing a word from the start, but it didn’t seem to properly combine information from different sentences.

One thing it did frequently do was to insert spelling errors (e.g., “religioosity”) and inappropriate synonyms (e.g., “humanity” instead of “personality”) into the text, which seems strange considering how little it otherwise changed in each sentence. In combination with the random order of the sentences, this results in a highly incoherent “summary.”

Paying $5 a month for the premium version raises the character limit from 30,000 to 50,000 and removes the daily limit of 30 entries. Given the poor quality of the tool, we don’t recommend paying.

Try Smodin’s summarizer

• Just gives you the same text back, but cut off halfway through—not a summary at all
• Unclear interface (100% length is actually the shortest)
• Not clear what the “Best Line” mode is for

Summarizer’s tool performed the worst out of those we tested. All it does is present the same text back to you, but cut off at a certain point (depending on the length of summary you select). No changes are made to any of the sentences.

Essentially, it’s a tool that deletes all but the first paragraph of a text for you. This is quite easy to do yourself with the backspace key, and it’s not likely to result in a “summary” of the text.

Try Summarizer

For our comparison, we selected 11 summarizing tools that show up prominently in search results. All the tools we tested can be used for free, but several of them have premium versions that you can use if you pay for a subscription. We tested the premium versions when available.

To compare the capabilities of the different tools, we used two testing texts, which are linked below:

• A short online news article (around 575 words)
• A longer academic journal article (around 3,500 words)

In each case, we pasted the entire main text of the article into the summarizer, leaving out things like footnotes, the article title, and details about the authors.

To judge the usefulness of the summaries generated, we looked at three qualitative factors:

• Concision:  Did the tool effectively condense the text into a quick summary?
• Clarity:  Is the summary easy to understand, or are sentences sometimes confusingly phrased or out of context?
• Accuracy:  Does it correctly express the key points of the text? Are any important details left out or stated incorrectly?

In the individual reviews, we also take into account details like user-friendliness, pricing, and limitations such as being unable to summarize the longer text.

Our research into the best summary generators (aka summarizers or summarizing tools) found that the best summarizer available is the one offered by QuillBot.

While many summarizers just pick out some sentences from the text, QuillBot generates original summaries that are creative, clear, accurate, and concise. It can summarize texts of up to 1,200 words for free, or up to 6,000 with a premium subscription.

🤔 Techniques & Tools to Summarize without Plagiarizing

Of course, there are times when you can’t depend on online tools. For example, you may be restricted to use them in a class or maybe you have to highlight some specific paragraphs and customizing the tool’s settings would take more time and efforts than summary writing itself.

In this chapter, you’ll learn to summarize a long article, essay, research paper, report, or a book chapter with the help of helpful tips, a logical approach, and a little bit of creativity.

Here are some methods to let you create a fantastic summary.

• Know your goal. To choose the right route to your goal, you need to understand it perfectly. Why should you summarize the text? What is its style: scientific or publicistic? Who is the author? Where was the article published? There are many significant questions that can help to adapt your text better. Develop a short interview to use during the summary writing. Include all the important information on where you need to post the text and for what purpose.
• Thorough reading. To systemize your thoughts about the text, it’s significant to investigate it in detail. Read the text two or more times to grasp the basic ideas of the article and understand its goals and motives. Give yourself all the time you need to process the text. Often we need a couple of hours to extract the right results from the study or learn to paraphrase the text properly.
• Highlight the main idea. When writing a summary, you bear a responsibility for the author. Not only you have to extract the significant idea of the text but to paraphrase it correctly. It’s important not to misrepresent any of the author’s conclusions in your summary. That’s why you should find the main idea and make sure, you can paraphrase it without a loss of meaning. If possible, read a couple of professional reviews of a targeted book chapter or article. It can help you to analyze the text better.
• Mark the arguments. The process of summarizing is always easier if you have a marker to highlight important details in the text. If you don’t have a printed text, there’s always Microsoft Word to use a highlight tool on the paper. Try to mark all arguments, statistics, and facts in the text to represent them in your summary. This information will turn into key elements of the summary you’ll create, so keep attention on what you highlight exactly.
• Take care of plagiarism. Before you start writing, learn what percent of originality should you aim at. Various projects have different requirements. And they determine how many efforts you should put into writing to get a perfect summary your teacher will like. Depending on the percent of originality, build a plan for your short text. Allow yourself copy as much information as allowed to save your time.
• Build a structure. With the help of key elements, which you’ve highlighted in the text, it’s possible to create a powerful structure including all the interesting facts and arguments. Develop an outline according to a basic structure – introduction, body, and conclusion. Even if your summary is extremely short, the main idea should sound in both the first and last sentences.
• Write a draft. If you’re not a professional writer, it can be extremely difficult to develop a text with the correct word count on the first try. We advise you to develop a general text firstly – include all the information without controlling the number of sentences.
• Cut out the unnecessary parts. On this step, you should edit the draft and eliminate the unnecessary parts. Keep in mind, the number of sentences your summary must contain. Make sure the main point is fully represented in the text. You can cut out any sentence except those concluding the significant arguments.
• Wordiness – you should delete unnecessary words, which make it difficult to understand the text
• Common mistakes – mistakes made in academic papers are basically the same, so it’s helpful to have an article like this one when you’re proofreading
• Appropriate terminology – for each topic, there’s a list of the terminology you can use
• Facts and statistics – you can accidently write a wrong year or percent, make sure to avoid these mistakes
• Quotes – every quote should be written correctly and have a link to its source.

📝 How to Proofread the Summarized Text?

Now, when you know how to summarize an article, it’s time to edit your text whether it’s your own writing or a summary generator’s results.

In this chapter, you’ll see the basic ways to proofread any type of text: academic paper (essay, research paper, etc.), article, letter, book’s chapter, and so on.

• Proofread your summary. Are there times when you can’t remember an appropriate synonym? Then you should use Thesaurus and analogous services from time to time. They can expand your vocabulary a lot and help to find the right words even in the most challenging situations.
• Pay attention to easily confused words. It’s especially significant if you edit a nonfiction text – there’s a number of words people often confuse without even realizing. English Oxford Living Dictionaries have a list of these word pairs so you won’t miss any.
• Proofread one type of mistakes at a time. To edit a paper properly don’t split your attention to grammar and punctuation—this way you can miss dozens of mistakes. To get more accurate results, read the first time to edit the style, the second to eliminate grammar mistakes, and the third to proofread punctuation. Take as many times as you need to concentrate on each type.
• Take a rest from your paper. If you use an online summarizing tool, you can skip this step. But if you’ve been writing a paper for several hours and now trying to edit it without taking a break, it may be a bad idea. Why? Because without a fresh pair of eyes there’s a great possibility not to spot even obvious mistakes. Give yourself some time to slightly forget the text—go for a walk or call a friend, and then return to work as a new person.
• Hire a proofreader. If you need to get perfect results, think about hiring a professional. Skills and qualification, which they have, guarantee a perfect text without any mistakes or style issues. Once you find a proofreader, you can optimize your work perfectly. Search for specialists on freelance websites like UpWork — it’s comfortable and safe to use. Of course, there’s one flaw you should think about—hiring a pro is expensive. So, everyone should decide on their own whether they need to spend this money or not.
• Switch your paper with a friend. If you can’t afford a professional editor, there’s a less expensive option—ask a friend to look through your paper and proofread theirs in return. Make sure, you both make manual editing, not just check it with Microsoft Office or analogous software. Although there are great grammar tools, they still can’t spot many mistakes obvious to a human.
• Use grammar checking tools. We recommend you not to depend on multiple grammar tools. But the assistance it can offer is irreplaceable. Start your proofreading by scanning your text with Grammarly or an analogous tool. The service detects many types of errors including confusing words’ pairs, punctuation, misspellings, wordiness, incorrect word order, unfinished sentences, and so on. Of course, you should never correct the mistakes without thinking on every specific issue. Tools not only miss a lot of mistakes but they also can be wrong about your errors.
• Read aloud. It’s amazing how different the written text can sound when read aloud. If you practice this proofreading method, you know that many mistakes can be spotted if you actually pronounce the text. Why does it happen? People understand information better if they perceive it with the help of different senses. You can use this trick even in learning— memorize the materials with the help of reading, listening, and speaking.

These tips are developed to help students proofread their papers easily. We hope this chapter and the post itself create a helpful guide on how to summarize an article.

Here you found the best summarizing tools, which are accessible online and completely free, and learned to summarize various texts and articles on your own.

" * " indicates required fields

Use My AI Text Summarizer Tool to Instantly Shorten Any Piece of Text—Keeping the Key Points

This AI text summarizer is designed to take any piece of text, such as a newspaper article, blog post, or academic report, and then summarize it with concise summaries. Each summary will be a unique paraphrase of the text you upload, that retains all the main points from your original text. 

You can use this AI text summarizer to summarize lengthy text. Here are some of the best use cases:

• Summarize a blog post you’ve written (or part of a blog post) to use on social media, repurposing the content.
• Summarize research or news articles in your own words—remember to cite your sources, though.
• Summarize a long email or document so you can quickly see the key points for your personal use.

You can also use it in any other situation where you want to quickly and easily produce a short version of a long piece of text.

How to Use the Text Summarizer to Produce a Short Version of Any Text

We designed the text summarizer to be as easy to use as possible, but to help you get the most out of it, here’s what you should know.

Step 1. Paste in the Text to Summarize

You’ll need to choose a passage of text to summarize and then paste it into the summarizer tool’s input box (you can’t paste a URL or upload an image of text). For best results, you’ll want to choose text that’s at least 250 words in length.

Tip: The tool can handle up to 2,000 words at a time. If you’ve got a longer piece that you want to summarize, you could split it into sections.

Step 2. Select Your Tone & Writing Style

By default, the article summarizer will use a fairly neutral tone, similar to that of your input text. But if you want, you can choose a specific tone and writing style for your shortened version of the text.

This is particularly useful if you’re using the summary as part of a longer piece that you’re writing. For instance, if you’re creating a blog post and your tone is usually laid-back, you could use a “Casual” or “Irreverent” tone. If you’re working on an essay, the “Academic” tone will probably be the most appropriate one.

Step 3. Summarize Your Text

When you’re ready, go ahead and his the summarize button to summarize your text with a single click. As you watch, this AI summary tool will produce a short version of your text, keeping key points but removing extraneous details. This summary is plagiarism-free, as the AI algorithm will rewrite the text in its own words.

Here’s an example summary, based on the introduction to my AI Blogging Guide . It’s summarized 294 words into 120 words:

“AI blogging has become a popular trend among bloggers this year. Many are using AI tools to boost their blogging process, including the author who invites readers to check out their AI blogging process. The author claims that AI tools have helped them increase their blog traffic and suggests that it could be a key to growing a blog faster. They describe AI tools as a cost-effective and efficient assistant, capable of handling tedious tasks and improving content creation speed. The author also discusses the benefits of using AI tools for generating content quickly, optimizing existing blog posts, and coming up with ideas and outlines. They claim that AI tools have helped them create content three times faster than before.”

Tip: Not quite happy with your summary? AI-based technology is far from perfect. You can quickly run the tool again for a fresh summary of your text, potentially changing the tone & writing style if you want a different style of summary.

• Then, think about your stylistic choices—is your tone right for your audience and/or brand?
• Next, turn your attention to details like spelling, grammar, and punctuation
• Watch out for consistency (e.g. decide whether to write “e-commerce” or “eCommerce” and stick to it)
• If you’re quoting directly from someone else’s work, put the quoted content in quotation marks or in blockquote format

The Features of This Text Summarizer Tool (Summary Generator)

Want to dig further into how the text summarizer tool works? If you’re interested in how it generates the text summary or how to tweak things for different results, here’s what you need to know about how this AI technology functions.

Text (Paste Up to 2,000 Words)

The text summarizer, obviously enough, needs a piece of long text to summarize! It’s up to you to paste in the text you want to use. If the piece is longer than 2,000 words, look at the structure so you can see where best to break it up. Avoid breaking up the original text in the middle of a paragraph or section. And if you wanna unlock the fully featured, unlimited version of this text summarizer tool, head over to RightBlogger .

Tone & Writing Style (Choose an Appropriate Tone)

The text summarizer lets you pick from a wide range of different tones and writing styles. These include Creative, Casual, Excited, Formal, Professional, Empathetic, Persuasive, Sales-oriented, Academic, and more. 

The default tone for the text summarizer will tell readers what the author wrote, as above. But using a different tone can produce a more direct and dynamic summary. Here’s a summary of the start of my AI Blogging Guide again, this time with an “Excited” tone:

“AI blogging is all the rage this year, and for good reason! Bloggers, including myself, are embracing the power of AI tools to supercharge their content creation process. With the help of AI blogging tools like RightBlogger, I’ve seen a huge increase in my traffic and I believe you can too. These tools act as lightning-fast and incredibly hard-working interns, taking care of the tedious tasks so you can focus on the fun parts of creating content. With AI, you can generate content faster, optimize your blog posts for better search engine rankings, and even get help with ideas and outlines. Trust me, AI tools can help you create content three times faster than before, making your blogging process more efficient and enjoyable. Don’t miss out on this game-changing opportunity!”

Tip: You can run the tool as often as you want (it’s free!) so go ahead and experiment with different tones until you find the one that best suits you and your content.

Language (Pick from 25+ Languages)

My free online text summarizer will automatically detect and understand the input language… but it’s up to you to set the output language. By default, this is English (US), but you could also choose English (UK), or a whole range of other languages, including Spanish, French, Polish, Chinese, Portuguese, Indonesian, and more.

Tip: You could use the text summarizer tool for a simple translation of a long piece of content, to preserve the key points. If you wanna unlock more language options, check out RightBlogger for the fully featured version of this online summarizing tool.

The Summarized Text (Keeps Main Points)

The AI’s algorithm will always aim to detect and keep the key points from the text that it’s summarizing. The summary length will depend to some extent on the length of the input text, but you can normally expect the summaries to be around 70–150 words.

If you feel that this summary maker hasn’t quite captured the main message behind your text, go ahead and run it again. You can try it as many times as you like. You might even want to save several different versions then use bits from each of them.

Because the AI comes up with the summary from scratch every time, you can always trust that the summarized text is plagiarism-free.

Text Summarizer FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Here are some of the most common questions I get about using text summarizer tools.

What is the best way to summarize a text?

If you want to summarize an article, news report, blog post, book chapter, or any other piece of text, you have a couple of choices:

• Create a manual summary
• Use an AI tool like the text summarizer to automatically summarize for you

For a manual summary, you can use some or all of these techniques:

• Write down any subheadings from the text—these are important clues to key points
• Read through the text a couple of times then write down, in your own words, what you think the author is saying
• Highlight key sentences in the text
• Use bullet points to capture the main points of the text
• Rewrite your bullet points or notes into well-structured sentences

If you want, you could use both approaches. Create your own summary, then run the original text through the summarizer tool to see if it comes up with anything you’ve missed.

Can I adjust the summary length?

The text summarizer’s advanced AI will automatically judge the text and come up with the best line and paragraph length for the summary. You may find that you get a longer summary for some tone options than others, as some writing styles are naturally more concise than others.

If you want to rewrite a piece of text but keep it around the same length (instead of shortening it) then the AI paragraph rewriter tool will help you do that.

How can I save or export the summarized text from the online summarizing tool?

You can simply copy the summary from the free summarizing tool and paste it into any other tool of your choice (e.g. Google Docs, Word, WordPress). There isn’t a feature to download the text, but once you’ve copied it, you can save it in any format you want (e.g. doc, docx, txt).

Can I use the online text summarizer when writing a research paper?

The text summarizer is a great way to gain a quick overview of complex articles if you’re researching a topic for an essay or research paper. You could also use the text summarizer to help you put your research into your own words. Make sure that you acknowledge the original source of the ideas, however. Your academic institution should provide you with guidelines for citing sources correctly.

Can I use the summary generator tool for writing a blog post?

The summarizer is a fast and easy way to quickly give an overview of the key points of a blog post. You might do this when creating “hub and spoke” style content, summarizing the posts that you’re linking to. This type of content is great for your blog SEO (search engine optimization).

Will this summarized text pass a plagiarism checker?

The AI summarizer creates a fresh summary for the text using abstractive summarization, rather than using existing sentences from the piece (extractive summarization). This means it rephrases sentences from the original text in order to summarize them, so the summary will be unique—and it should pass a plagiarism check.

However, it’s important to understand that plagiarism isn’t just about exact words. You can also plagiarize an idea by presenting someone else’s idea or information as your own work. That’s why it’s important to acknowledge the original source of the idea (i.e. the author of the long text that you pasted into the summarize tool).

Why did you make this a free tool?

Back when I got started in blogging, I didn’t have a huge budget. In fact, I didn’t have much money to spare at all. I simply couldn’t afford the pricey tools that would have helped me grow my blog. Instead, I made do with free alternatives. I was so grateful to the bloggers and creators who provided those free tools.

Today, it’s my turn to give something back. That’s why the text summarizer is completely free (and always will be). You can use it again and again to summarize articles, news stories, book excerpts, or anything you want. It’s my gift to you.

There are no limits and no strings attached. The only thing I ask is that if you find the text summarizer useful, would you take a look at my huge collection of AI tools, RightBlogger ? It’s designed to help bloggers and content creators grow their online business fast, with AI tools that do pretty much anything you can imagine. We’re adding new tools all the time, inspired by RightBlogger users’ requests.

What other AI tools can I use to help me write better?

I’ve got a TON of free blogging tools (mostly AI-powered) that you can use completely free of charge, and many of those are designed to help you write better content, in natural language.

My writing-focused AI tools include a full article writer to create first drafts in next to no time, an outline generator to help you outline blog posts, an introduction writer , conclusion writer , and even a blog idea generator .

When it comes to editing, my paragraph rewriter (paraphrasing tool) and grammar fixer will help you get your content spot-on. Plus, you can use my meta title generator and meta description generator to optimize your online content.

Who is this text summarizer tool designed for?

When we created the text summarizer, we had a few different groups of people in mind. Primarily, we were thinking about bloggers and content creators: anyone creating online content who might need a helping hand in summarizing their own work or someone else’s article. If you’re an SEO professional, content marketer, or small business owner, the text summarizer is also a great tool for you, helping you create and repurpose content faster than ever before.

The text summarizer is also a good fit for students who need to get through a lot of reading fast, helping to distill key points. It can even help you write essays and academic papers, by paraphrasing text for you. (Just remember to acknowledge the original author of the text.)
