How to Use

Keyword Extraction (khfilter)

Uses a built-in segmentation algorithm to find words and remove stop words.

import khmereasytools as ket
text = "នេះគឺជាប្រាសាទអង្គរវត្តស្ថិតនៅក្នុងខេត្តសៀមរាប"
keywords = ket.khfilter(text)
print(f"Keywords: '{keywords}'")

Text Segmentation (khseg)

Uses a built-in segmentation algorithm to split text into words.

import khmereasytools as ket
text = "នេះគឺជាប្រាសាទអង្គរវត្ត"
words = ket.khseg(text)
print(f"Segmented Words: {words}")

Part-of-Speech Tagging (khpos)

Requires khmernltk to be installed.

import khmereasytools as ket
# pip install khmereasytools[khmernltk]
text = "ខ្ញុំស្រឡាញ់ភាសាខ្មែរ"
tags = ket.khpos(text)
print(f"POS Tags: {tags}")

OCR from Image (khocr)

Requires ocr dependencies to be installed.

import khmereasytools as ket
# pip install khmereasytools[ocr]
# text_from_image = ket.khocr('khmer_text.png')
# print(f"Text from OCR: {text_from_image}")
