Can't read whole long articles? OSX will summarize articles

Summarize. pre-OS X Lion (10.7), it was in the Services menu by default. Now you may need to turn it on in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts, in the Text section of available services. To use it, select some large chunk of text, (like the entire document) then choose Summarize from the Application's menu (same name as the app), Services submenu.

Within whatever application your running, after highlighting the text you want to summarize>Click on the main drop down menu for the app>Services>Summarize.

I've just added this capability and am looking forward to putting it through its paces.
