Frequently asked

How accurate are the summaries?

Each section cites the pages it draws from (the p.N chips), so you can check it against the source. The summary is built to stick to the document and not invent facts, but always verify anything important.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

It needs selectable text. If a PDF is a scan, run it through OCR first, then summarise the result.

What happens to my document?

The text is extracted in your browser and sent to a third-party reading service to write the summary. The file itself is not uploaded.

How big a document can it handle?

Short documents are summarised in one pass. Long ones are split into chunks, summarised, then merged (map-reduce). Free previews the first pages; Pro processes the whole document.
