Configuring VIDIZMO Speech & Text Analyzer for Summarization

Summaries can help you get a quick overview of your content for viewers who are looking to absorb the information quickly without the fluff. Using the VIDIZMO Speech & Text Analyzer, you can generate summaries for documents and transcribed audio or video files on your Portal. The application performs abstractive summarization, which means that it analyzes the input text, extracts the most important ideas with context, and presents them in the summary in a coherent manner.

You also have the option to exclude specific words during summary generation, which is helpful for moderating content and ensuring that the summaries don't include offensive or inappropriate words. As a substitute for these words, the application uses alternatives that are inoffensive but similar in meaning to ensure consistency of information in the generated summary.

To process audios and videos on your Portal for summarization, you need transcriptions generated on them. If no transcriptions are found prior to processing, then the VIDIZMO Speech & Text Analyzer will automatically generate them. For additional information regarding summarization, visit Understanding Summarization in VIDIZMO.
