FAQ
- Is there a maximum length for text I can summarize?
- Yes: without a subscription, one text can be up to 10,000 words; anything longer is refused rather than silently cut. Premium goes much further. You can paste the text or drop a PDF, Word (.docx), TXT or Markdown file, then pick the summary length you want.
- Does the summary preserve the main ideas?
- Identifying and keeping the key points is exactly what the tool is built for. In key-points mode, the sentences it kept are highlighted in your text, so you can check what was retained.
- Can I choose the format of the summary?
- Yes, from five formats: paragraph, key points (with the source sentences highlighted), revision sheet, executive summary (context, findings, recommendations) or simplified. Then pick one of four lengths, from very short to detailed.
- Can the AI summarize technical or specialized texts?
- It handles specialized content in medicine, law, finance, and technology well. For highly technical material, double-check critical figures against the original.
- Is it safe to paste confidential documents?
- Treat this like any online tool: avoid pasting trade secrets, personal data, or anything covered by an NDA. For sensitive material, anonymize names and figures before summarizing.
- Can I use the summary in my own work without plagiarizing?
- A summary in your own words is generally fine, but pasting it verbatim into academic work without citation can still count as plagiarism. Cite the original source, and use the summary to guide your reading rather than replace it.
