A drop-down list lets you choose the language of the source text.B. Sentences display :
Three views are provided. “standard”, “context” and “numbered”, each declined in two variants governed by the checkbox
“Standard” mode :
: if the box is unchecked, the processing does not alter the source text.
Example :
: if the box is checked, the sentences of the source text and the summary are presented in the form of a particular display. The sentences that are likely to convey important information are displayed in larger characters. Conversely, those likely to convey information with less importance are displayed in small characters. In this innovative display mode, the user can visually scan with ease, giving more attention to the larger-scale passages in the document and its summary.
Example:
![]()
"Context" mode :
: if the box is unchecked, a "-" sign and a "+" sign appear on either sides of each source sentence. After having chosen a degree of condensation, you can click on the "-" or "+"to display the context above and under the extracted sentence. Additionally, double-clicking on a sentence removes it from the summary.

"Numbered" mode :
: if the box is unchecked, all the sentences of the source text are numbered. After having chosen a degree of condensation, you can click on the “-” or “+” to display the context above and down from the extracted sentence, or on “X” to remove the sentence from the summary.

C. User keywords :
You can enter words or expressions (between quotes). After generating the summary, the program provides the number of occurrences of the words or expressions entered and found in the source text. You can navigate across their occurrences using the spacebar. The words or expressions you have selected are taken into account for the selection of the sentences that make up the summary.
Example :
![]()
D. Domain :
SummarizOR can integrate various domain dictionaries, lexicons or thesauri to give more relevance to the summary. For each term actually found in the source text, it provides the corresponding number of occurrences, and you can navigate them using the spacebar. In some domains, you can also navigate across the synonyms of the terms.
After each automatic summary, the AIExtracteur bar appears at the bottom of the interface. It provides three complementary concept analysis tools, built on the key concepts extracted from the summarized text:
Important: AIExtracteur operates after a summarization (Text, Web Page, WEB PAGES or Folder tab). It has no meaning without prior processing.
