A Python library for finding and visualizing distinguishing terms across document categories as interactive HTML scatter plots. It integrates with NLP pipelines to compare corpora and render browser-based term visualizations with selective labeling.

Use cases

  • visualize how language differs between two document categories
  • find distinguishing terms in a text corpus
  • compare word usage between political parties in speeches
  • exploratory data analysis of text data
  • stylometric analysis of authorship
  • create interactive term scatter plots for a report

When to choose

  • you need to compare term usage across document categories in Python
  • you want publication-quality interactive text visualizations
  • you're doing computational social science or text-as-data research

When to avoid

  • you need general-purpose charting beyond text term comparison
  • you need a production NLP pipeline rather than analysis/visualization
  • you're not working in Python
