Reading articles quickly in my native language

There are many great articles and blogs on the web. Most of the materials are in English. However, in my case, since English is not my native language, reading English materials is slow and I often misinterpret unknown words or unfamiliar sentences. When reading speed slows down, it can lead to giving up reading. As a result, some really good materials are left dormant in my bookmark. What if I could get an overview of the contents before diving into reading? I will introduce a way to quickly summarize English articles into my native language using AI tools.

Summarizer

Kagi web page

Kagi Universal Summarizer

A tool that summarizes all internet data, covering various types including articles, PDFs, videos, tweets, and ebooks.

Translator

DeepL

DeepL is a translator that supports languages including English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc. Among the various translators I've tried, it seems to provide the most natural translation. It also provides a Chrome Extension.

Reading article with Summarizer and Translator

Let's read the article "ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web" as an example.

By using the Kagi Universal Summarizer to summarize the article and DeepL Chrome Extension to translate it, you're good to go!

This is an example translated into Korean.

Kagi also provide bullet point summary like this.

Kagi also supports videos, so it can be used for YouTube as well.

Neither of the two tools is perfect yet, so they may be slightly off, so it is recommended to use them only as reference and to read the original.
