Maybe this is an old feature but I just noticed it today. When you have text selected in any Cocoa application, you can go to the Services menu and select "Summarize." This opens a new app called Summarize Services which creates a summary of the text and let's you use a slider to determine the summary's length (from 1 to 100% of the original). I can't see how anyone would find this useful, but it's certainly neat-o.

Been around a while
This one's actually been around since at least 10.1.5. I don't remember when I first noticed it but I haven't had a chance to upgrade to Jaguar yet and I have the Summarize service.

Wow! Just a slight extension and this is a tool I have been looking for.
Could be useful for news, etc
I tried some samples when the service first became available, way back in MacOS 9, and wasn't impressed. But, I just ran another test and it does show how it can be useful to summarize the news, say.
how does it work?
Anyone have any thoughts on what sort of algorithm it uses? I tried the service on some (wordy) philosophy papers and was amazed how effective it was. |
