Why students use text summarizer by Litero AI?
The Power of an AI Summarizing Tool
Summaries can be incredibly powerful tools because they’re shorter and easier to read, but knowing how to make one is equally important. One of the most common things to do when reading a text, especially a particularly long one, is to look for summaries. These shorter texts help us understand the basic points and not begin our reading with confusion, and creating them is no longer something that relies on whether someone else made them but rather something that AI can do in a few seconds.
What is a Summary?
A summary is basically taking an author’s ideas or arguments and rewriting them in a way that is concise and brief, and it can apply to any type of media regardless of whether you need to summarize a text, book, article, TV episode, movie, news segment, or any other thing. However, summaries lead to one important point of discussion: do they count as plagiarism? The answer is not necessarily because summarizing should come with citations and direct references to the author or creator of whatever piece you’re summarizing. You should include statements like “According to Smith,…” or add in-text citations when possible. If it’s clear that the paragraph is meant to be a summary, you can usually get away with fewer citations and direct references, but it all depends on why you’re doing a summary. Most of the time you’ll probably need a summary for your own personal use, like studying or just knowing what someone else says about a specific topic, but you should still know how to create the best possible summary.
Why Use an AI Summarizer?
Regardless of whether you need to submit a summary for a class or just need one for personal use, a summary takes time and effort. However, using an AI summarizer tool makes the process easy and fast because you just need to either input the text you need summarized or tell the AI to give you a summary of a specific topic. Beyond saving you time, the text summarizer can cover a lot more topics and ideas than we might be able to, especially if we’re on a tight schedule. Maybe your summary on music in the 70s is technically good, but it might ignore the social context surrounding it. The AI’s training means it’ll summarize relevant things and not just what we think is important, helping us minimize biases and provide better arguments or ideas. Programs like Litero give you the option to select the text within your document and give you a summary, and if you need a summary for other external ideas or sources, the AI chat lets you talk with the AI and ask it for a summary on whatever you need.
It’s Not Just for Sources!
It’s easy to think that summaries are just useful when you’re dealing with external sources, but they can be incredible tools when you’ve finished writing an assignment and want to know if you’ve made relevant points. You can ask programs like Litero to summarize your entire text to see if everything makes sense and is complete. Moreover, it can help you identify gaps where you need to expand your argument or use another source. Also, this is a useful feature when you have to explain what your assignment is about, such as when you’re writing the concluding paragraph or if you need to have the basic argument of your essay for a discussion board. Overall, summaries are crucial, and using an AI summarizer or any summarizing tool can help you create better arguments and be more confident in your writing.
