Summarizer

Summarizer finds long comments on Reddit and summarises them! In fact, you can summarise any lengthy article online.

What is Summarizer?

'Summarizer' is a time-saving Chrome extension designed to automatically condense complex articles, lengthy PDFs, and significant Reddit comments, into brief and concise summaries. It even positions any 'tl;dr' at the top of the comment for effortless understanding. Additional features include an automatic Imperial-to-metric converter for lengths and weights. More updates are anticipated with user feedback and suggestions.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Summarizer will save you the time-consuming pain of reading long articles and comments. On any website, you can select a long, boring article, right-click and summarise it in a few sentences!

This even works for those long PDF publications from prestigious universities you don't want to read.

Additionally, for you Redditers out there - good news! Long comments are automatically summarised, with any "tl;dr" placed at the top of the comment, along with the automatically-generated summary.

New Features:

Automatic Imperial-to-metric converter for lengths and weights - across all sites!
Improved summarizer will detect sentences better.

More sites and features to come! Tell me what you want in the feedback section.

Feedback is important to me and hope this extension saves you time too. Let me know of any bugs (currently in Beta) or features to add.
