Intellexer Summarizer Pro 5.0

Overview

Intellexer Summarizer Pro is a solid piece of software designed to cut the time and cost of your research. It does so by analyzing large amounts of input data and summarizing it in short, concise, informative summaries, concept trees with keywords and entities named.
When you research companies in your region, how much time does it take to manually extract all that relevant information? When you want the employee list, their emails and age, position and relations to each other, how much time does it take for a human to process all that data from a company’s website? Intellexer Summarizer Pro does that in a matter of seconds. All you need to do is input the url of the company’s website, and Summarizer gives you the summary of this page with all named entities sorted. It will probably take you 5 minutes to process an entire list of url’s to have a clear idea of the key factors, main identities and locations.
The obvious benefits of Summarizer Pro for professional researchers and academics justify the cost. Besides, Intellexer Summarizer Pro implements algorithms to match the human semantic analysis in its summaries, so the output quality of summaries is very high.
