I have a bunch of data that I need to process. I will not be able to go through it all, and will need to summarize it. I have seem the summarizer service on the macintosh, and am looking for something similar. I have found 'summarizer' project, which is a web-based service, but it is still pre-beta. I have also found the libots project. Any idea how that stacks up? What non open source options have people tried?

Add AnswerI have looked into this, and there is a good closed source tool by Copernic. While it has a ton of neat features, it had some limitations that made it difficult for me to use to go through a ton of documents. I really wanted to do something similar to you and pass documents through it so I would get summarized copies. Copernic works decently well if you are doing it in real-time. I looked at the Agent too, but that was rather a waste. They searched through sites like hotbot and the likes, and was pretty useless. The good part of the summarizer was the generation of 'key concepts', which was rather decent. All in all, it is a good tool if you wish to use it in real time.
