Goodmorning Richard. Thank you for the link! I was having some second thoughts yesterday about how to proceed with my annotator and I would like to share them with you. First of all what I need to do is match a recognised text with a table of a database containing names. So for example if we have a recognition " My name is Nick" I want my annotator to compare the recognised text with the database and try to find a match. Now lets say that "Nick" exists in the database so we have a match then the annotator will return a name annotation. This annotator will be used as UIMA pipeline early stage. My problem is on how to create it. Using a dictionary annotator, or by just using a general annotatator with some regex that will just scan the database? Is it possible for the dictionary annotator to scan a table of a database like it was a dictionary? Thank you both for your answers. With regards, Nick
