I was listening to The Family History AI Show: Episode 8: Save Time by Summarizing, Meta’s Game-Changing AI Upgrade, FamilySearch’s Summarization Feature, Is the AI Bubble About to Burst? podcast, by Steve Little and Mark Thompson, today and heard about the AI Summarization feature on FamilySearch's Full-Text Search feature. I immediately looked for it and found it, as shown below.
Here is a screen capture of one of the Trumbull County deeds that mentions my 4th great-grandfather Cornelius Feather (I used a search of ["cornelius" +feather +patridge +trumbull]:
In the right-hand column titled "Full Transcript" and under "Show Keywords" is the highlighted phrase "Summarize the document."
When I click that highlighted phrase, a summary appears below the phrase:
The full summarization is:
AI-generated from the transcription below.
George W. Patridge and his wife Elizabeth, along with other individuals, are assigning their rights and title to a tract of land in Gustavus township, Trumbull County, Ohio, to David Patridge. This transaction took place on November 9th, 1830.
Dates
November 9th, 1830
Names and Relationships
George W. Patridge [Assignor]
Elizabeth Patridge [Wife of George W. Patridge]
David Patridge [Assignee]
Other individuals mentioned, such as Isaac William, Elijah and his wife Sarah, Samuel and his wife Elizabeth, and Cornelius and his wife Mary, who are also assignors.
This record actually starts on the deed book page before the page above, and continues on the next page in the deed book. The summarization only deals with what's on this one page that has the keywords requested.
A user could reconstruct the search for persons on the other pages and blend the summaries together to get a more complete summarization.
This will be very helpful, especially if FamilySearch finds a way to highlight a record across more than one page to summarize and transcribe.
Thank you for the tip, Mark and Steve!
