Abridge is a chrome extension designed to easily create a summary of any webpage, along with highlighting key points, extracting key facts and events, even do advanced text analysis.
Saves lots of time researching, reading the news, or just any web article without losing accuracy or important data.
Features:
• Creates fast summaries of any webpage with a single click
• Algorithms are more accurate than most web based summarizers
• Extracts a list of key facts and compiles it into an easily searchable list
• Automatically creates a timeline from important events in the page.
• Non-intrusive tab-design allows for ease of reading
• Highlights key text in different styles of your choice
• Open source
When you use it, buttons appear at bottom of page.
Sadly it messes with the layout of some site viewing even if I'm not extracting from them, which is a pretty bad/confusing glitch, so I disable it most of the time, or it would have gotten 5 stars, but I'm happily impressed otherwise.
I was using it to get past ad and image clutter when I wanted to copy info, but I've switched over to Reader extensions to make copy/paste easier, and so far I note that Abridge won't extract from my Reader View extension. Abridge does not get past paywalls.
The Timeline function seems to be a very worthy tool even if info accuracy must be checked.
I've started to test Summarizers for intelligence and I have to say, that I find this one pretty intelligent so far.
Intelligent things that I think I am seeing.. It seems to skip paragraphs with hypothetical/rhetorical questions. It seems to skip paragraphs that lead with "blanket" wording.. ie. "all" "some(thing)". It seems to skip subindexes though it left the preface word ex. including: ..so it's always good to proofread.
I doubt that you will find this level of intelligent selection in most other Summarizers.
I was hopeful, but for some reason the times I attempted to use it there was no summary available, I might give it another try in some months or so .. saved it as a bookmark .. because this would HELP me SOOO much ...
