Summarize Text

The Summarize Text feature enables you to condense input text into shorter, more concise summaries while preserving the original meaning. This feature is ideal for simplifying complex texts or extracting key points. Summaries can be tailored to specific contexts and languages, offering high versatility.

How to Use the Summarize Text Feature

To use this feature:

  • Switch the "Translate" button to "Summarize" using the dropdown menu next to the button.
  • Enter the text you want to summarize in the source input area.
  • Click the "Summarize" button. The summarized text will appear in the target area in as many languages as you’ve selected for the target languages.

Language Selection

The Summarize Text feature supports multilingual summaries. Here’s how it works:

  • To produce summaries in the same language as the input text, ensure the target language matches the source language.
  • If no source or target languages are specified, the summary will be generated in the input language by default. However, for short or ambiguous texts, this may lead to inaccuracies.
  • For multilingual summaries, select multiple target languages. The summary will be generated for each language.

Working with Contexts

Just like the Explain Text feature, Summarize Text works best when combined with Contexts. Contexts allow you to customize summaries based on tone, audience, or professional settings. Here’s how:

  • Click on "Manage Contexts" to create or edit contexts. For example:
    • Select the "Professional Context" category and choose an option like "Executive Summary" for summaries tailored to business executives.
  • After creating the desired context, click "+Context" in the output area and apply the context.
  • Click the "Summarize" button again, and the output will now be tailored to the selected context. For example, summaries for a professional audience will focus on key metrics or actionable insights.

Best Practices

  • Specify source and target languages for better accuracy, especially for multilingual summaries.
  • Use contexts to refine the summary to your needs, such as audience type, tone, or professional domain.
  • Experiment with multilingual summaries to reach a broader audience.
