Possibly not just for teachers, but if it works so well then maybe the authors might need to think again, 'brevity the soul of wit'
This looks surprisingly effective (in my test of one article) ... and could be a useful first order tool for scanning large amounts of work. Students might learn to summarise/paraphrase by looking carefully at how the results relate to the original text (if they can resist just cutting and pasting the new words).
Here's a cool tool for teachers! Time saver.
