nltk-text-summarizer

Summarize articles on the net by simply copying the intended article.

This was built in Python 3.4 and please refer to the pre-requistes required for running it successfully. If you are on Linux or some other OS you will experience problem in creating system notifications. Will update the code for that soon.

Pre-requisites -

1. Python 3.4 (although it shoudn't have problem running on other Python versions.)
2. NLTK for Python
3. nltk.corpus
4. 5. (For Linux users) PyMsgBox library for creating alert box(refer google for installation)

Usage -

1. Clone/Download zip of TextSummarizer
2. Extract content of the zip.
3. Open IDLE/cmd to run the following code -

import os
os.chdir('path') #path where script is saved.

from textSummarize import ExtractNewSentences
ExtractNewSentences().run() #by default the script runs for 2 hours in background with 75% summarization of text.

#To run for specific hour(s) say 1.5 hours
ExtractNewSentences().run(timer=1.5)

#To summarize into 50% of the text
ExtractNewSentences().run(reducepercent=0.5)

To stop script, simply close the screen or press CTRL+C

Steps to install nltk -

1. Extract the zip content
2. Open cmd
3. Run the following commands -

cd "folderpath where zip is extracted"
python setup.py install
