There is a growing requirement for the text summarization due to the difficulty of managing exponential increase of information accessible on the World Wide Web. Text summarization is a process to extract the contents in the original text to the shorter form which provides important information to the user. The summarizer presented in this paper produces the extractive summaries of Kannada text documents. The proposed summarizer system considers five features to determine the important sentences in the document. The features used are Term Frequency, Term Frequency-Inverse Sentence Frequency, Keywords feature, Sentence length and Sentence position. The value of each feature is computed and score for each sentence in the document is the average of all the feature score values. The sentences with the top scores are selected to be included in the extractive summary. The results of the proposed model are evaluated using ROUGE toolkit to measure the performance based on F-score of generated summaries. Experimental studies on custom-built dataset with 50 Kannada text documents shows significantly better performance in producing extractive summaries as compared to human summaries.
