Install

Python

pip install pysbd

Usage

  • Currently pySBD supports only English language. Support for more languages will be released soon.
import pysbd
text = "My name is Jonas E. Smith. Please turn to p. 55."
seg = pysbd.Segmenter(language="en", clean=False)
print(seg.segment(text))
# ['My name is Jonas E. Smith.', 'Please turn to p. 55.']
import spacy
from pysbd.utils import PySBDFactory

nlp = spacy.blank('en')

# explicitly adding component to pipeline
# (recommended - makes it more readable to tell what's going on)
nlp.add_pipe(PySBDFactory(nlp))

# or you can use it implicitly with keyword
# pysbd = nlp.create_pipe('pysbd')
# nlp.add_pipe(pysbd)

doc = nlp('My name is Jonas E. Smith. Please turn to p. 55.')
print(list(doc.sents))
# [My name is Jonas E. Smith., Please turn to p. 55.]
