How Does The Extraction Logic Work?

What The Tool FindsWhat The Tool Typically Ignores
Regular full names (e.g., "Jane Doe", "Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.").
Titles & Names (e.g., "Professor Alice Chen," "Mr. John Smith")
Initials in names (if enabled, e.g., J.K. Rowling, A. B. Student)
Compound surnames (e.g., "Maria Garcia-Lopez", "Jean-Paul Sartre").
Names separated by “and” or “&” (e.g., “Bill & Melinda Gates”).
Single words, e.g., "Smith", "Elizabeth".
Names of firms or brands (e.g., “Johnson & Johnson”).
Common nouns are confused with names (e.g., "Hope", "Summer").
Pronouns and salutations alone, e.g., `Dear Sir', `To Whom It May Concern'.
Names in URLs or email addresses (e.g., “[email protected]”).
