Entity extraction web services


Are there any paid or free named entity recognition web services available.

Basically I'm looking for something - where if I pass a text like:

"John had french fries at Burger King"

It should be identify - something along the lines:

Person: John

Organization: Burger King

I've heard of Annie from GATE - but I don't think it has a web service available.

  • OpenCalais by Reuters - pretty awesome at detecting companies, political entities etc. but not, say, food items.

    Free for 50,000 requests per day even for commercial, as long as you display their logo.

    Totally tripped by certain types of input though. As of now, this results in nothing being detected, despite Wacom being a relatively well-known company.
