Ah right, thank you for the detailed explanation. Currently, we are processing the text using a Python backend. In order to process it on the user's side, I guess we'll have to use Javascript. I will try to fix that in the next version. Thank you very much.
yup, switching to js would fix this issue.

Hi, - Yes, you are totally right. TextRank is an extractive method. - Ah right. But we aren't storing any information on our servers, just showing selected sentences to the user. - We select the top 5 sentences which have the highest relevancy to the article. I am not an expert in this field so not too sure if that's the best way. Just started with NLP a few days back and wanted to test it out by developing a small a…

If this is in reference to the copyright comment, it doesn't matter -- you're still transmitting/redistributing the content, which is what matters. One way to get around this is to ship the code and have the code execute on the user's machine (i.e. what you're presumably doing with the extension).
I'm pretty sure this would be covered by fair use.

I think google was only retransmitting lyrics, and they are getting sued now. Can’t imagine google was actually storing the lyrics although I may be wrong [1]. If someone could clarify this I would really appreciate it as it has implications for a project I’m currently working on. [1] https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2019/6/16/18681225/gen...
When you Google a newspaper article you get a verbatim snippet, same concept.

#48Is there a premium version where I can have text summarized by actual living, breathing, human beings?

That's such a ridiculous consequence of our field/times. Edit: How about the backend just returns pointers to the text (word #x till word #y) and the js just (re)assembles it?

#50When I use it on our landingpage it simply extracts one sentence from the page: Use state-of-the-art pseudonymization and anonymization methods to secure your data in real-time. I think it's a good summary of what we do, but I wouldn't call this summarization as I would think that implies synthesizing new content from the existing one, it's more a highlighting service I'd say. For other pages it doesnt' works so well…
It is mainly designed for articles so it wouldn't give any useful info when used on landing pages etc.
There are two kinds of article summarization. We use the extractive approach wherein top n relevant sentences from the article are selected. If the document is too short, it wouldn't select many sentences.
Thank you very much for taking the time to use the app and provide your feedback.
