This thing understands Finnish? Very strange. TLDR from this was quite excellent: https://sarastuslehti.com/2020/03/12/koronaviruksen-kayra-on...

Yes, it works on quite a few languages. Glad you liked it. Let me know if you have any feedback/suggestions.

The article was a translation from English. The English summary was less good, as it repeats same sentence twice. https://www.takimag.com/article/crushing-the-coronavirus-cur...

I get an error. I’m on Safari mobile on iOS 13.4. I use content blockers, BlockBear and Firefox Focus - not sure if that’s relevant or not. Method Not Allowed The method is not allowed for the requested URL.

Thank you for letting me know. Are you using the extension or the web app?

Yes, that's because that sentence appears twice in the article. Advanced summarizer gives a better summary for that URL.

Interesting stuff. Have you succeeded in getting paying customers for such a service? I've seen some similar free alternatives online, i.e. resoomer, smmry

v1 of our service was free as well. v2 includes a basic summarizer which is free and an advanced summarizer which requires payment. Just launched the premium version, so waiting to see.

Awesome product! I was quite surprised at how good it summarized Dutch articles as well. Are you planning to launch an API anytime soon?

Didn't do a great job on this AP News article on coronavirus - only four bullet points, two of them repeated: https://apnews.com/545af824f44a22f7559c74679a4f1f53 .

The Basic Summarizer has its restrictions. Try Advanced summarizer. It will give better results.
