```python
import json

from flair.datasets import NER_GERMAN_BIOFID

corpus = NER_GERMAN_BIOFID()

with open("./train.jsonl", "wt") as f_out:
    for sentence in corpus.train:
        current_example = {
            "text": sentence.to_tokenized_string()
        }
        f_out.write(json.dumps(current_example) + "\n")
```

The extracted dataset has 12,668 sentences.
