Installation is rather simple - all you have to do is choose between complete installation and custom where you can choose which elements you would like to install, and which to omit. If you choose the web browser integration, you will be able to see summaries of your web pages, a very nifty feature. Other elements include MS Word and Outlook integration.

Interface

The interface is sleek and streamlined. Graphic performance is excellent - there is nothing that would distract from the task at hand while finding features and options is easy. Overall, working with this program’s interface is a pleasure, so you are up and running the moment you installed it. There are several ways you can customize the looks - skins and summary window colors. The main window is divided into several sections - main menus (summary, concepts, history, view), concept tree and summary. The latter opens in tabs, so you can have multiple summaries open simultaneously which is very convenient. There are options to customize summarization process to match your requirements. You can adjust summary size; there are presets for summary type, such as general, scientific, patent, politics. Concept tree deserves a praise - it shows the most significant terms. We call them keywords; Intellexer Summarizer calls them concepts, but the output does not change. Concept tree provides more convenience to analyzing the document’s contents. The History pane stores analyzed summaries you can reuse at a later time.

• The program only recognizes ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) and UTF-8 encodings, so you will have to save your files in those respective encodings to be able to summarize them.
