Usage

Basic Usage

from uztextnorm import UzbekTextNormalizer

# Create a normalizer instance
normalizer = UzbekTextNormalizer()

# Normalize text
text = "Narx: 10,000 so'm; 15% oshdi"
result = normalizer(text)
print(result)
# Output: "narx: o'n ming soʻm; o'n besh foiz oshdi"

Cyrillic to Latin Transliteration

text = "Ўзбекистон Республикаси"
result = normalizer(text)
print(result)
# Output: "o'zbekiston respublikasi"

Number Expansion

# Integers
normalizer("123")  # "bir yuz yigirma uch"

# Decimals
normalizer("3.14")  # "uch butun o'n to'rt"

# Fractions
normalizer("3/4")  # "to'rtdan uch"
normalizer("1/2")  # "yarim"
normalizer("2 3/4")  # "ikki butun to'rtdan uch"

# Currency
normalizer("10,000 so'm")  # "o'n ming soʻm"
normalizer("2,500 $")  # "ikki ming besh yuz dollar"

# Percentages
normalizer("15%")  # "o'n besh foiz"

Configuration Options

normalizer = UzbekTextNormalizer(
    to_lower=True,  # Convert to lowercase (default: True)
    transliterate_cyrillic=True,  # Transliterate Cyrillic (default: True)
    script="legacy",  # "legacy" (o'/g'/sh/ch) or "2026" (ö/ğ/ş/ç)
    speak_urls=False,  # "https://kun.uz" -> "kun nuqta uz"
    spell_leftover_digits=False,  # "A350" -> "a uch yuz ellik"
    custom_pre_rules=[],  # Custom pre-processing functions
    custom_post_rules=[]  # Custom post-processing functions
)

Custom Processing Rules

def remove_hashtags(text: str) -> str:
    return text.replace('#', '')

def add_period(text: str) -> str:
    if not text.endswith('.'):
        return text + '.'
    return text

normalizer = UzbekTextNormalizer(
    custom_pre_rules=[remove_hashtags],
    custom_post_rules=[add_period]
)
