Topicmarks is a web tool that will help you summarize English text. It will also store the summaries in its storage space under your account forever - for free, unless you decide to discard items. However, the developer does have a plan to charge "heavy users" in the future. With the help of Topicmarks' "summarizing engine", you can get the idea of a long article in a snap - without the trouble of going through the original text. There are several methods you can use to submit texts that you want the Topicmarks engine to summarize. The first one is by uploading the text file from your computer. Topicmarks can handle text from several different kinds of file format. These include Adobe Acrobat PDF (.pdf), Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx), OpenOffice ODF text (.odt), Hypertext Markup Language (.htm, .html), and of course Plain text (.txt).
