#32Wow, nice demo. I agree with the others the lack of pricing is a bit disconcerting. Btw, anyone else read the title as "Trent Reznor"? I need a coffee...
totes on the Trent Reznor part.

It's certainly not going to be ideal for your typical CRUD app. Think about all of the information that is locked inside of unstructured text (MS word docs, pdf's come to mind), and then imagine if you can scan through thousands of documents, find the named entities, and then start connecting them together in queries.
Obvious uses would be any kind of CMS. Investigative journalism is another.

Me. See my other comment in this thread.
I've recently started exploring the Legal Informatics field. The problems in it are huge and typically involving adding some structure to lots and lots of unstructured text.
Also, Peter, if you do end up reading this, great work on the stuff you do :) Big fan here!

#39Hi, would love to have this API listed on Mashape

#40This looks great. I'm building http://dokket.aws.af.cm . It's a database filled with documents from the Federal Communications Commission. From day 1, I've been looking for smart ways to make use of the thousands of documents of unstructured text. The customization you offer seems to be the killer feature for me. I'll write a Ruby api wrapper if you give me an agreed-upon amount of usage when you settle on pricing. F…
I am also building an application that could use this service. So I tested TextRazor and the results were not good on two random articles I processed with the service.
I really want this to work out, because my application needs this kind of technology to be reliable and accurate. I just processed the article at the link below, and the word "Tesla" was not captured as one of the topics. http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/most-peculiar-test-drive-fol...
