NAME

       ots - Open Text Summarizer

SYNOPSIS

       ots [OPTIONS] [file.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. Word processors such as AbiWord and KWord
       can link to the library and summarize documents while  the  command  line  tool  lets  you
       summarize text on the console. The program can either print the summarized text as text or
       HTML. If in HTML, the important sentences are highlighted.
