Every once in a while when I am working on a something difficult, there’s nothing I love more than shortcuts. One time, I had to summarize a 3 page article from the web. Here’s how I did it:
- First, open up Safari, and highlight some text you would like to summarize.
- Then go to the Services menu located under the Safari menu.
- In the drop-down menu, you will find a lengthy list of services, including Summarize.
- Clicking on Summarize will bring up a window with the text you highlighted.
- You can adjust how much you want the text to be summarized.
- Besides summarizing, there is much more you can do in the Services menu.
- Check out the Speech service.
- With any highlighted text, click on Speech > Start Speaking Text to hear the text out-loud.
- Then select Stop Speaking Text to stop it.
- There are some other Services that you should experiment with because they can save you a lot of time when you’re working on difficult tasks.
