Extractor Rules
Add specific rules to control how BotTalk will extract text from your articles.
BotTalk Parser is very smart. It can analyze the website and decide what content is article text - and what is not. It makes intelligent decisions about what should be read aloud and left out (for example, photo descriptions, iframes, and tables).
If you want to adjust how BotTalk Parser makes those decisions - extracts content - you can do so by defining your own Extractor Rules.
You start by clicking Add extractor rule button.
