## About

## What it does
Text Summarizer turns long text into a shorter summary. Send it content, optionally add context, choose the output language, set a maximum length in words, and adjust the voice tone. The service returns a job ID and a status URL so you can track processing asynchronously.

Use Text Summarizer when you need to condense articles, reports, support transcripts, or internal notes into something easier to scan. The `content` field is required. You can also pass `context` to guide how the text should be summarized, `language` to set the output language, `max_length` to cap summary length, and `voice_tone` to shape the style of the result.

When the job completes, the status endpoint returns a structured result with the job `status`, the job `type`, and a `summary` string inside the response data. That makes it straightforward to build workflows that queue summaries, poll for completion, and store the final text in a CMS, knowledge base, or review queue.
