    <abstract>BRAT is a widely used web-based text annotation tool. However, it lacks robust Python support for effective annotation management and processing. We present Bratly, an open-source extension of BRAT that introduces a solid Python backend, enabling advanced functionalities such as annotation typings, collection typings with statistical insights, corpus and annotation handling, object modifications, and entity-level evaluation based on MUC-5 standards. These enhancements streamline annotation workflows, improve usability, and facilitate high-quality NLP research. This paper outlines the system’s architecture, functionalities and evaluation, positioning it as a valuable BRAT extension for its users. The tool is open-source, and the NLP community is welcome to suggest improvements.</abstract>
