Claim 14:
15. A computer system to automatically summarize a transcript, the computer system comprising:
a processor programmed to:
access a plurality of heuristic rules that encode scoring that adds or subtracts points to process the transcript, the plurality of heuristic rules comprising at least a first heuristic rule and a second heuristic rule, wherein the transcript is transcribed from audio having spoken words or phrases relating to a subject matter domain;
generate a plurality of segments based on content of the transcript, each segment comprising a respective portion of the content;
for each segment of the plurality of segments:
(i) evaluate the first heuristic rule from among the plurality of heuristic rules against the segment to add or subtract points based on a first characteristic of the segment,
(ii) evaluate the second heuristic rule from among the plurality of heuristic rules against the segment to add or subtract points based on a second characteristic of the segment different than the first characteristic,
(iii) generate a cumulative segment score for the segment based on the evaluation; and
(iv) determine whether to include or exclude the segment based on the cumulative segment score;

identify a subset of the plurality of segments based on the determinations of whether to include or exclude the segments determined at (iv); and
generate a summary of the transcript based on the subset of the plurality of segments.
