text-summarization

> Automagically generates summaries from html or text.

  

Intro

This module powers Automagical's text summarization, which was acquired by Verblio in 2018.

It provides the most powerful and comprehensive text summarization available on NPM.

Features

- Uses a variety of metrics to generate quality extractive text summaries
- Handles html or text-based content
- Utilizes html structure as a signal of text importance
- Includes basic abstractive shortening of extracted sentences
- Usable as a node module or cli
- Thoroughly tested and used in production

Install

This module is usable either as a CLI or as a module.

``bash
npm install --save text-summarization
`

Usage

`js
const summarize = require('text-summarization')

const fs = require('fs')
const html = fs.readFileSync('fixtures/automagical-1.html')

const summary = await summarize({ html })
console.log(JSON.stringify(summary, null, 2))
`

which outputs:

`
{
"extractive": [
"Why you should drop everything and try Automagical",
"Video content is significantly more engaging than text content",
"Go from blog post → video in 5 minutes.",
"Our builder is exceptionally easy to use.",
"For the cost of 1 highly produced video, you can get a year's worth of videos from Automagical."
]
}
`

CLI

`
npm install -g text-summarization
`

This installs a summarize binary globally.

`bash
Usage: summarize [options]

Options:
-V, --version output the version number
