Yeah it's pretty bad, even inputing a well written news article like this one: http://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2014/oct/08/return-of-joh...

    ”              PERSON
    its            ORGANIZATION
    ’s Wear Daily  PERSON
    shoulder pad   DISEASE
The rest is mostly correct (although random punctuation seems included at times) but it's nothing you couldn't get by word matching using a big dictionary. It reminded me to get tested for shoulder pads though, so there's that.

We have a bug with quotes/punctuation that we are fixing now (that account for 1 & 3). "its" is not necessarily a mistake, it likely refers to the owner. "shoulder pad" is a mistake due to the probabilistic nature of the algorithms used.

FWIW I ran the article through AYLIEN's Text API and here's what I got: http://aylien.com/text-api-demo?text=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegua...
