Copernic.com Launches Copernic Summarizer

Copernic.com, a world leader in the development of search solutions based on the use of intelligent agents, announced the introduction of a revolutionary new software, Copernic Summarizer, capable of summarizing texts and managing information.

This application for PCs is the first of its kind to be offered on the market. Its main purpose is to summarize texts on any subject after having "understood" their contents. The software produces summary reports featuring the main ideas found in the subject matter processed. Copernic Summarizer can handle texts from office and Internet applications, and even the clipboard. Summaries can also be printed out, copied, e-mailed, and exported to other applications.

"We are extremely proud of our achievement and firmly believe that Copernic Summarizer will transform and simplify the management of information on the Web and on intranets. Thanks to this revolutionary new tool, a simple mouse click makes it possible to obtain a summary of any document instantaneously. This is an important breakthrough in the new era of information management," declared Martin Bouchard, president and CEO of Copernic.com.

"With more than 2 billion Web pages on the Internet and 10 billion e-mails sent each day, Internet users are literally swamped with information. Our new tool will make it easier for them to access documents by improving their ability to review document contents, understand and select from all the information available on the Web and from company networks. With Copernic Summarizer, users will save precious hours sorting through information, allowing them instead to review more documents. Combining power and ease of use, Copernic Summarizer will quickly become indispensable to many professionals and managers, rendering them invaluable services," stated Martin Bouchard.

Copernic Summarizer operates under Windows and can process documents in English, French, German, and Spanish. Management of Copernic.com further confirmed that other languages would be added to later versions of the software. The current version integrates summarizer functions into three major applications on the market: Internet Explorer, Word, and Outlook. This latest addition to the Copernic.com family of products is available as of today from the company Web site at www.copernic.com. Its regular price is US $79.95 (US $69.95 before December 25).
