5 Apps for Automatic Summaries

Automatic summary

The Automatic Summary is one of the latest features introduced by Algor Education, the innovative and inclusive web app that, thanks to Artificial Intelligence, offers valuable educational tools to support students and teachers. Alongside Concept Maps, the Automatic Summary represents a step forward towards a more versatile and comprehensive learning experience.

The new feature, thanks to Artificial Intelligence algorithms, allows users to obtain an automatic summary from texts of various formats. How? All you need to do is sign up for Algor and choose, based on your needs, an automatic function between Text Map and Photo Map. You will find the two options within your Personal Area.

‍
By choosing the Text Map, you can enter your digital text by copying and pasting it directly into the appropriate box or selecting the file from those saved on your device. The maximum limit is 15,000 characters. If you prefer to use the Photo Map, take photos of your book or upload images from your device, following the instructions.

‍
At this point, all you have to do is click on “Create” or “Proceed”: in just a few seconds, you will have both the concept map and the Complete Summary of your content, ready to be customized and downloaded! The “cost” for the map and summary is 15 AI credits (What are AI credits?).

You can test the new feature thanks to the 30 AI credits you will receive as a gift when you sign up for free on algoreducation.com. If you are already registered and have used up your credits, visit the subscriptions page, discover the benefits, and choose the solution tailored for you!

Effortlessly summarize online texts and articles with resoomer - the ultimate tool for quick and accurate summaries

Resoomer is a web application that analyzes and summarizes online your texts. To use this service, you need to visit the official website in the Italian version through your browser and insert the chosen text in the box on the left, using copy-paste or import. You can choose from various options, including automatic summary and manual summary, which allows you to select the percentage of reduction of the original content. 

Similarly, Resoomer gives you the opportunity to get a summary of a web article, so you don't have to read it in its entirety. To do this, you will need to enter the URL of the website containing the article or download the extension for Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

Once the process is complete, you will have a selection of options that allow you to copy or download the document, share it, and even translate it.

The tool offers both a free version and a paid PRO version, which allows you to obtain more accurate and higher-quality summaries starting from €9.90 per month (the price increases based on the number of characters to be processed).

The free online app on nelsenso

Another online app that automatically generates summaries is Summazer, which can be found among the various options on NelSenso. Unlike other applications we've discussed, this tool only allows for copy-pasting the text you want to summarize or its URL in case of online content. It won't be possible to upload a file from your device. As with Resoomer, you can select the percentage of the processed text length and copy the result with the right mouse button, but you won't have the option to export it. In just a few seconds, you'll see a window containing the automatic summary, created based on the percentage you selected earlier - all for free and with a limit of 32,000 characters.

‍

At this point, if you want to make adjustments and perhaps print it, you can copy and paste it into any text editor (such as Word or Google Docs).

Summazer is available exclusively in the web version, so to use it, you'll need to access the Italian version of the website through your browser.

The ultimate tool for summarizing articles in english

One of the most effective tools in this field is undoubtedly TLDR This (Too Long, Didn't Read This, meaning "too long, I didn't read it"), although currently, the app only offers services in English. With TLDR, you can paraphrase and summarize your English texts automatically and in a few simple steps. You can also obtain a summary of any article on the web. It's easy: just paste the text to be summarized in the text box or insert the link to the site containing the chosen article. You can choose between a concise and a detailed version, as well as view the keywords of the text. The result can be copied and pasted into an editor of your choice, allowing you to customize and print it.

TLDR offers a free version, but to access more advanced options, you will need to purchase a subscription, either monthly or yearly. Prices range from $4.00/month to $19.99/month. This app is only available as a web version: you can access the website via a browser, where you can also install a dedicated extension for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

Fast, accurate, and easy-to-use!

Paraphraser is a web app that offers various text management tools, such as plagiarism detection and grammar correction. Among these, we also find a tool that allows you to obtain an online summary in just a few seconds. The document to be summarized can be uploaded directly from your device; alternatively, you can also paste the previously copied text. Once the summary has been processed according to the percentage selected, it will also be possible to view it in a bullet-point version. Moreover, Paraphraser allows you to edit the result before downloading it in .doc format or copying it with a simple click.

The application can be easily accessed through any web browser at the dedicated website.

To take advantage of the online summary offered by Paraphraser, registration is not required. On the other hand, if you want to test all the other tools that the platform provides, you must subscribe by choosing from three different packages.
