Morphological analysis of words of the original text is used to support a heuristic for selecting the summary sentences. Evaluation of the proposed system is introduced. Primary subjective evaluation, based on Compression Ratio and Retention Ratio, showed that the used approach is effective and efficient, and performance of the system is promising.
