That makes perfect sense, thanks. Are there screen readers capable of providing summary if needed?

To answer that, I'd need to know what you actually mean by summary. Most screen readers present an overview of the number of HTML elements in a page when it just loaded. Something like "5 headings and 28 paragraphs".

By summary I meant, summarising an entire web article into couple of sentences.

Oh, you are indeede refering to automatic text crippling? No, thanks, I wouldn't touch such a thing. That is not what accessibility is about.
