Summary/Abstract: This paper describes the identification, adaptation and creation of tools that are needed for creating a quote extractor for Estonian media texts that would be able to properly extract both direct and indirect quotes and attribute them to the correct person identified by full name and profession. This includes named entity recognition and resolution as well as grammar-based extraction of direct and indirect quotes. To get a further understanding of indirect speech in Estonian media, we also performed a corpus linguistic analysis of the quotes extracted with our tools from one week of Estonian news.
