NLP with TextBlob

Table of contents

Hello, I recently discovered TextBlob in python and I think it’s really cool, so let’s talk about it.
So, what is TextBlob?*
TextBlob is a Python library that simplifies natural language processing (NLP). It offers a simple API for performing common tasks such as sentiment analysis, spell checking, key phrase extraction and much more. Here’s a basic tutorial to get you started with TextBlob*
Make sure you have Python installed on your system. You can install TextBlob using pip :
pip3 install textblob
After installing TextBlob, you need to import it:
# TextBlob import
from textblob import TextBlob
# Create two TextBlob objects from two sentences containing spelling mistakes.
text1 = TextBlob("Aree you giong to unniversity tommorrow ?")
text2 = TextBlob("I havv goood speling!")
print(text1.correct())
print(text2.correct())
# outpout
# Free you going to university tomorrow ?
# I have good spelling!
TextBlob’s correct() method is used to correct the spelling of a text using a probabilistic model. It attempts to correct spelling errors in the text based on the probability of each word being spelled correctly.
