At a glance

Summarizing reduces content; translating changes the language. Choose for your task and always check important conclusions against the source.

Before you start

Define the goal: understand a report, locate ideas or read in another language.

Open the summary or translation tool and check its availability. If Folio says it cannot run, no result has been generated.

For summaries, review the available length and output. For translation, check source and target languages before running.

Cross-check names, figures, negations and exceptions. A summary may omit details; machine translation may need terminology corrections.

Fluent text does not establish accuracy. If a conclusion matters, locate the passage in the original that supports it.

Before you finish

The ideas you intend to use have been checked in the source document.
