What is text extraction?

Text extraction is the process of extracting pre-defined entities (types of information) from the text content. The best technique for that is using Natural Language Processing (NLP) combined with custom regular expressions (Regex).

TEXT2DATA service allows you to build your own custom extraction models using our online model builder tool.

Apart from that, our users can use our ready-to-use publicly available extraction models. In order to do that, the user only needs to select the model from the list and copy it to his own custom extraction models. This functionality is available in user admin panel.
