FlashText is a Python library for fast keyword extraction and replacement in sentences, based on the FlashText algorithm. It uses a trie-like KeywordProcessor to match thousands of keywords at speeds independent of the number of keywords.

Use cases

  • extract keywords from sentences in python
  • replace multiple keywords in text quickly
  • normalize entity names in text like city names
  • find keyword spans with character positions
  • fast dictionary-based named entity matching

When to choose

  • you need to match or replace thousands of keywords faster than regex
  • you want case-insensitive or case-sensitive keyword matching with optional span info
  • you need to attach extra metadata to matched keywords

When to avoid

  • you need fuzzy or partial word matching rather than exact keyword matches
  • you need full regular expression pattern support
  • you need actively developed features beyond keyword extraction and replacement
