hi @Mohammad, > [@Mohammad](#): > > Can I do annotation and convert to BERT on prodigy Yes. Please see our documentation on using [Prodigy for BERT](https://prodi.gy/docs/named-entity-recognition#transformers-tokenizers). There are also many posts with the [transformers tag](https://support.prodi.gy/tag/transformers) that may help as well. ---

I got this error below when I tried this commend 🙂 Can't find recipe or command 'bert.ner.manual' python3 -m prodigy bert.ner.manual correctd\_drsv1 ./model\_drsv1 ./CV\_json\_English\_Format.jsonl --label Skill ,University,Designation,Degree,Experience --patterns patternsv1.jsonl ./bert-base-uncased-vocab.txt --lowercase --hide-wp-prefix -F transformers\_tokenizers.py ---

That means you're having a lookup error. Is the `transformers_tokenizers.py` script in the same folder where you ran that command? > [@Can't find recipe or command 'bert.ner.manual'](https://support.prodi.gy/t/cant-find-recipe-or-command-bert-ner-manual/5965/7): > > Thanks. It worked now. The issue was that transformers\_tokenizers.py was not in the current directory. ---

yes also the commend below give me the same error python3 -m prodigy bert.ner.manual --help ---

> [@Mohammad](#): > > python3 -m prodigy bert.ner.manual --help Yes, you would because you haven't correctly referenced your script. How can Prodigy get help information about `bert.ner.manual` when it hasn't been pointed to where the script is? Again, your problem is you're not pointing to the correct path for your script. Try putting the absolute path directory to where you have saved your `transformers_tokenizers.py`, e.g., `-F ~/Downloads/my_folder/transformers_tokenizers.py` ---

now I get this error usage: prodigy bert.ner.manual [-h] [-lo None] [-l None] [-tv None] [-LC] [-HS] [-HW] dataset source prodigy bert.ner.manual: error: unrecognized arguments: ./bert-base-uncased-vocab.txt python3 -m prodigy bert.ner.manual BERT\_drsv1 ./CV\_json\_English\_Format.jsonl --label Skill,MaritalStatus,University,Designation,Degree,Experience ./bert-base-uncased-vocab.txt --lowercase --hide-wp-prefix -F transformers\_tokenizers.py ---

hi @Mohammad! > [@Mohammad](#): > > now I get this error > usage: prodigy bert.ner.manual [-h] [-lo None] [-l None] [-tv None] [-LC] [-HS] [-HW] dataset source > prodigy bert.ner.manual: error: unrecognized arguments: ./bert-base-uncased-vocab.txt Yes, that looks because you don't have the [`bert-base-uncased-vocab.txt`](https://s3.amazonaws.com/models.huggingface.co/bert/bert-base-uncased-vocab.txt). Save it from the link I provided and make sure your path reference is correct. ---
