# Create Text and Document Recipes

In DDOE’s Annotation Platform, a **Recipe** is a comprehensive configuration that defines how data is annotated for a specific task, particularly for **text and document data**, specifying how labels, spans, and annotations are applied.

You can create **text and document recipes** using three types of annotation tasks:

- **Text NLP Tasks**: Use Text NLP Tasks to perform **text classification, named entity recognition (NER), and sentiment analysis** across multiple languages.
- **PDF Tasks**: Use PDF Tasks to create **text- and sentence-level annotations** within PDF documents, including **text extraction** capabilities.
- **PDF Data Extraction to Form**: Use PDF Data Extraction to Form tasks to **extract structured data from documents and forms**, supporting document AI and information extraction workflows.

## Start Creating Recipes for Text NLP Tasks

1. Open **Recipes** from the left-hand navigation panel.
2. Click **Create Recipe** to bring up the configuration dialog.
