It is accompanied -by extensive documentation, including tutorials that explain the underlying -concepts behind the language processing tasks supported by the toolkit. +NLTK is a leading platform for building Python programs to work with human +language data. It provides easy-to-use interfaces to over 50 corpora and +lexical resources such as WordNet, along with a suite of text processing +libraries for classification, tokenization, stemming, tagging, parsing, +and semantic reasoning, and an active discussion forum. -NLTK is ideally suited to students who are learning NLP (natural language -processing) or conducting research in NLP or closely related areas, -including empirical linguistics, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, -information retrieval, and machine learning. NLTK has been used successfully -as a teaching tool, as an individual study tool, and as a platform for -prototyping and building research systems. +Thanks to a hands-on guide introducing programming fundamentals alongside +topics in computational linguistics, NLTK is suitable for linguists, +engineers, students, educators, researchers, and industry users alike. +NLTK is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Best of all, NLTK is +a free, open source, community-driven project. + +NLTK has been called "a wonderful tool for teaching, and working in, +computational linguistics using Python" and "an amazing library to play +with natural language".
