Rating Normalization

Extract clean numeric ratings from various formats including fractions, stars, and text.

Review ratings come in many formats — "4.5 out of 5", star characters, fractions, even written-out numbers. Rating normalization extracts a clean numeric value that works in databases, APIs, and schema markup.

Rating (Extract Number)
