NAME

ots - a tool for summarizing texts

SYNOPSIS

ots [options] [to-summarize.txt | stdin]

DESCRIPTION

The open text summarizer is an open source tool for summarizing texts. The program reads a text and decides which sentences are important and which are not. OTS will create a short summary or will highlight the main ideas in the text. OTS is both a library and a command line tool.
