Hi Julio, I'm not sure of the UIMA end of things (whose UIMA wrapper of Stanford NER are you using? FLorian Laws'?). But the CoreLabel objects can store begin and end character offsets. They're just a map. So if the wrapper doesn't already, it should be able to be adapted to store the character offsets (under a key such as CharacterOffsetStart), and then you can get it on the output. Chris.
