Why we included this project

Most NLP libraries stop at recognizing an entity; this one also resolves it. Feed it "next Thursday at 3pm" and it returns an actual date; "five thousand" comes back as 5000. That matters because a bot or extraction pipeline usually wants the value, not just the span, and Recognizers-Text delivers that offline, with no model or API key involved. It ships as .NET, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Python packages, with full support for ten languages including Chinese and several European ones, plus partial coverage for Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Swedish, so the same entity logic can run across a stack. Teams building language-understanding features get a dependable, self-contained way to extract these common mentions without calling a hosted service.
