There isn't really a name for it per se, just someone who summarizes content and provides it for you.

It's called presentation or explanation to be honest.That's what teachers in school do.They study the text books and present the students with the gist of it in terms of powerpoint presentations.

Let me know if you're looking for someone to do it,I can do that for free depending on how many pages are to be read.

I'd call that consulting or more specifically researching. If you have some material in mind, you could post a job via Rein which will handle the escrow/order flow with a mediator of your choice. http://reinproject.org

it is kind of like a audit you can search on google for answers if you can. google is your guide

You could make the thread something like "Summarize this text/video for me!". I think the price would depend on the length and complexity of the text and the quality of the summarisation.
