How far are you from a full v1.0 release?

I want to do some more work on the network UI, and there's probably a bunch of bugs in there. I'm guessing a couple of months to half a year.

Name sounds a bit like "Gdansk", a city in the northern Poland. I wonder if that's where it stems from...

Nordic languages I guess, means something like "investigate".

In the Scandinavian languages, to "granske" (Swedish: "granska") means to investigate or to carefully study or conduct an enquiry into something. "Gransk" is the imperative form.

What eitland said :)

I don't know if you're Danish or Norwegian, but in Swedish the word is "granska" (note the A at the end).

Means something like these: review, view, research, study, canvas, monitor, scan, look into, audit.

I suppose this is not for you, but just to give some more info to the rest of the readers.

Thanks for clarifying! I'm from Norway and "gransk" is the imperative form of "investigate" in Norwegian.

I forgot to add it in the list, but I'd say "granska" would be quite fitting for "investigate" as well.

Amazing tool! I've been looking for an accessible tool with these capabilities! Highly recommend a test drive on the virtual box image.

Have you compared any of the commercial entity recognition APIs to Polyglot? I tried a couple for https://www.findlectures.com, and OpenCalais might be appropriate to your use case, because it seemed to be good at finding company/people names.

Not yet, no. It should be fairly easy to add support for more APIs, though. The more the merrier.

I did something like this a few years ago and even sold a few licenses. There is definitely a need for this.
