Limit the summarization length #52

Hi, first of all thanks for the great project.

Is there a way to limit the output of the summarizer? We use it to display a summarization in a table which get's very ugly when text length differ a lot.

sonnylaskar commented 4 years ago

You can pass the parameter ratio as ?ratio=0.1 to define the compression expected. To get a predictable length, you could compute ratio by considering the length of the input and the expected output length.

Yep, the ratio parameter controls the size of the summarization.

Thank you all!
