Topicmarks is a web service that creates smart, interactive synopses from electronic documents in minutes.
It uses advanced natural-language processing technology to understand the true meaning of your text, summarize it for you and retain all its facts forever. Upload multiple texts and Topicmarks becomes your knowledge base: finding links between texts, grouping texts around topics, and containing all the facts from all documents you ever read. Understand the essence and retain every single fact – without reading anything yourself. (Slick!)
Topicmarks works by cutting up the full text into sentences, attaching meaning like synonyms and antonyms to each word in the sentence, and then by identifying triplets (typically between subject, verb and object) that are the basic facts expressed in the text.
Currently, Topicmarks supports the following file types:
- Adobe Acrobat PDF (.pdf)
- Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx)
- OpenOffice ODF text (.odt)
- Hypertext Markup Language (.htm, .html)
- Plain text (.txt)
You can get a text into Topicmarks in four ways:
- Uploading a file from your hard drive
- Copy-pasting text directly from an open document into Topicmarks
- Letting Topicmarks download a document from a URL you give it
- Sending a file to Topicmarks by email (check the next question for details)
