Summarizer

An automatic paraphraser/summarizer/information extractor built using Python.

Usage

Summarizing a paragraph of text

This is most likely what you're looking for. To summarize text, simply use Summarizer's summarize() function:

summarizer.summarize("insert text here", length=3)

where length equals the number of sentences to condense the text down to.

Note: The second argument can be omitted and will default to 3. In other words, if you omit the length argument, the function will return a three sentence summary.
