✂️ Summary & outline builder
Main idea → key points → outline → summary draft. Paste the text if you want hints, write the ideas in your own words, and the builder does the organizing.
How to write a summary in 5 steps
- Read the text once quickly for the big picture, then again slowly.
- Write the main idea in one sentence — the one thing the author wants you to understand.
- Choose 3–5 key points that support it; leave out examples and minor details.
- Write the summary in your own words: start with the author, the title and the main idea, then the key points with linking words.
- Cut it to length, remove any opinion, and add a citation.
Questions & answers
- Does this tool write the summary for me?
- No — and that is on purpose. You decide the main idea and key points in your own words; the tool organizes them into an outline and a first draft, highlights likely key sentences, and checks length and copied phrases.
- How are key sentences highlighted?
- The tool counts the content words the text repeats most and scores each sentence by how many of them it contains. It’s a simple, transparent hint — you still decide what matters.
- How long should my summary be?
- Usually 10–25% of the original, unless your instructor gives a word count. The checklist shows the range for the text you pasted.
- Is my text uploaded anywhere?
- No. Everything stays in your browser and is saved only on this device.
