Summarizers differ mostly in what they keep. Some compress to a paragraph, which suits a meeting transcript; others produce a structured outline with the numbers and dates intact, which is what a report or contract needs.
For anything you will act on, use a tool that cites the page or timestamp each point came from so you can check it.
