ARCTIC is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to provide quick and efficient text summarization directly within your browser. Unlike other tools that require tab-switching, ARCTIC operates entirely in-browser, delivering instant summaries with no text limits. Its minimalistic design ensures it is both fast and unobtrusive, making it an ideal tool for users who need concise summaries without breaking their workflow.
- Summarizes text directly within the current tab using a pop-up interface, accessible via a simple keyboard shortcut (
Ctrl + Q). - Capable of summarizing large blocks of text without the restrictions of word limits.
- A clean, intuitive pop-up window that appears over your current page, with support for dark mode.
- No reliance on external servers or cloud processing, ensuring privacy and speed.
ARCTIC utilizes the LexRank algorithm for summarization, which identifies the most important sentences in a text based on sentence similarity and importance.
