Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Select and Copy the Article URL
To use Bard, you first need an article that you want to summarize or translate. Find a suitable text, for example, about how to eat healthier. Once you have found the article, copy the article's URL.
Step 2: Open Bard and Paste the URL
Open the Bard application. You can now paste the copied URL into the text input field to instruct Bard on what to do. Typically, pasting is done using the "Ctrl + V" combination on your keyboard.
Step 3: Request a Summary
After pasting the URL, phrase a clear command to request the summary. For example, type "summarize this" in the text field to inform Bard that you want a summary of the content.
Step 4: Receive and Review the Summary
Once you have submitted the command, Bard will generate the summary of the content. Typically, you will receive a concise overview of the main points of the article. It is important to review the summary for quality and accuracy.
Step 5: Translate into Another Language If Needed
If you want to translate content into another language, you can request this with a similar command to Bard. For example, if you have a German article and want a translation into English, you can input "summarize this" and then paste the URL of your German article to receive the summary in English.
Step 6: Analyze the Results
Once Bard's output is ready, analyze the results. Pay attention to how well the summary captures the key points of the original article. In our example about stress on vacation, you will receive a clear overview of the main tips, which Bard does very well.
Step 7: Identify Applications and Limitations
It is important to know that Bard understands some languages better than others. While Bard can recognize content in German, there are current limitations regarding output in this language. The outputs are mainly generated in English, which you should take into consideration.
Step 8: Future Developments
With the advancement of Bard and AI technologies, you can expect the capabilities to expand in the future. The hope is that Bard will soon be able to generate outputs in more languages and enhance user experience.
