Summarizing tool for text

OK, so I'm reading through Brian Friedlander's http://assistivetek.blogspot.com/2009/09/searching-google-with-context-organizer.html and wondering whether Context Organizer is AT. He acknowledges that this application, which summarizes texts based on keywords, helps anyone who needs to sort through "mountains" of information. I agree; a summary feature (such as the one embedded in MS Word) might be a useful one.

Does it serve a purpose for any of our students or ourselves? What should we think about as we suggest this assistive technology for students who have difficulty with reading?
