<p>Summy generates excerpts for your posts by applying various algorithms for automatic summarization extraction.<br />
It scores your text’s sentences, based on extended configuration options, and returns the highest ranked.<br />
WP-Summy is based on the <a href="http://summy.komposta.net" title="Summarization Methodology Yardstick" rel="nofollow ugc">Sum+my</a> and was<br />
created in an attempt to further develop the Core Library through your <a href="http://www.komposta.net/article/wp-summy" rel="nofollow ugc">feedback</a>.</p>

<h4>How To Use</h4>
<ul>
<li>Write your blog post as you normally do</li>
<li>Make sure excerpt and summy blocks are on screen</li>
<li>Experiment with all the options and hit Summarize</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why use Summy</h4>
<p>WordPress excerpts can be displayed in places where quick summaries are preferable to full content like:</p>
<ul>
<li>RSS feeds</li>
<li>Search Results</li>
<li>Archives Pages</li>
<li>Meta Description</li>
</ul>
<p>When a post has no manual excerpt, WordPress generates ONE automatically by selecting the first 55 words of the post.<br />
Automatically generated excerpts don’t summarize the post properly leaving guests guessing what the post is about.<br />
Summy will analyze your post’s sentences and use the highest ranked that best describe your post, which could lead<br />
in better search engine results and more targetted audience for your blog. Summy’s summaries are not perfect and you<br />
might also need to do some editing before publishing your content but they are a lot better than random 55 words…</p>
