spacy-syllables 0.0.1

Multilingual syllable annotation pipeline component for spacy

Spacy Syllables

A spacy 2+ pipeline component for adding multilingual syllable annotation to tokens.

• Uses well established pyphen for the syllables.
• Supports a ton of languages
• Ease of use thx to the awesome pipeline framework in spacy

Install

$ pip install spacy_syllables

which also installs the following dependencies:

• spacy = "^2.2.3"
• pyphen = "^0.9.5"

Usage

The SpacySyllables class autodetects language from the given spacy nlp instance, but you can also override the detected language by specifying the lang parameter during instantiation, see how here.

Normal usecase

import spacy
from spacy_syllables import SpacySyllables

nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")

syllables = SpacySyllables(nlp)

nlp.add_pipe(syllables, after="tagger")

assert nlp.pipe_names == ["tagger", "syllables", "parser", "ner"]

doc = nlp("terribly long")

data = [(token.text, token._.syllables, token._.syllables_count) for token in doc]

assert data == [("terribly", ["ter", "ri", "bly"], 3), ("long", ["long"], 1)]
