## FAQ
#### How do I import the annotations to spaCy?
A guide is available [here](https://github.com/tecoholic/ner-annotator/issues/44#issuecomment-1159235765).
#### I have multiple exported annotations. How do I combined them into one file?
A guide is available [here](https://github.com/tecoholic/ner-annotator/discussions/81#discussioncomment-5287891).
#### What tagging format does the tool use?
The JSON file created by the tool is generic and simply lists the start and end of each entity. As such, the annotations are independent of the tagging format you intend to use (IO, IOB, IOBES, etc.).
## Development
### Requirements
1. NodeJS v21.x
2. Yarn Package Manager
3. Rust toolchain (for building desktop versions)
### Running it locally for development
1. Open another terminal and start the server for the UI
```sh
yarn install
yarn dev
```
Now go to [http://localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173)
### Developing the desktop application
The desktop applications have been created using [Tauri](https://v2.tauri.app/).
```sh
yarn tauri dev
```
To build the final binaries run
```sh
yarn tauri build
```
