Shorter. takes your selected text and ranks each sentence in the text according to its relevance in the selection. It employs the TF-IDF principle to score each sentence with respect to words present in it and their importance in relation to the selection. Using a two pass method to first find out the Top-N sentences in the first pass followed by finding out the highest scoring sentence in every N-th bracket ensures the context as well as scores are factored in while summarizing.
