Text Summarization implements a new field formatter for textfields (text_with_summary, from technical stand point) that improves the default "Summary or Trimmed" field formatter for textfields built into Drupal 8.

Summarization Technique:
TextRank is a general purpose, graph based ranking algorithm for NLP. It is an extractive summarisation technique that relies on extracting several parts, such as phrases and sentences, from a piece of text and stack them together to create a summary. Hence producing a more related and compact brief of a paragraph that will lead to enhanced user engagement.

After installing and enabling Text Summarization, you should see a "Text summarization usig TextRank" option in the format dropdown for your text fields. This is located in the "Manage Display" section of "Structure->Content types. This module gives site administrators control over the trim length in two units characters or words

Search Engine Optimization
This module also provides a summary token [text_rank_summary] that can be used along with metatag module. This can help in auto generation of a page's summary that can be directly inserted into a page's meta description tag for search engines or in any other meta tag via token module.

The latest release is Drupal 8 compatible and we will be releasing drupal 9 release soon.
