This bookmarklet summarizes and reads text, listing the most context-relevant paragraphs first. The bookmarklet also changes text to aid visual processing and simultaneously speaks the text using the browser's text to speech function. The rate of speech can be varied by adjusting a slider at the top of the page.

The bookmarklet summarizes text by removing the most common English words from the source text and ordering the remaining words by frequency of appearance. Of these words, 10 context-relevant keywords are used to gauge the relevance of a given paragraph. The greater the number of keywords that appear in a given paragraph, the higher that paragraph ranks.

Hi,

I'm currently reading "Unscripted - The Great Rat Race Escape" by MJ Demarco (recommended), and there he presents the "SCAIDA" marketing strategy (Self-centered, Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) to sell your product. The Action part stands for a call to close the sale.

The author claims that the most effective way to do this nowadays is through a scarcity statement (utilizing "Fear Of Missing Out"): "Limited time only!", "Offer expires in two days!" etc.

However I'm a bit sceptical on the effectiveness of such strategy, based on my own subjective experience: whenever I see such statement ("Offer expires in X!") I always think "Yeah right, what offer does not expire in 3 days?" -- because this is used everywhere and I think people are aware that it's just a marketing tactic.

So I wonder if you're aware of actual scientific research into the effectiveness of this strategy -- or maybe you have some anecdotal data, preferably based on A/B testing of a real product that you were selling?

Thanks!
