nltk pos_tag usage

Question

I am trying to use speech tagging in NLTK and have used this command:

>>> text = nltk.word_tokenize(\"And now for something completely different\")
         


        

Answer 1

If you don't want to use the downloader gui, you can just use the following commands in a python or ipython shell:

import nltk
nltk.download('punkt')
nltk.download('maxent_treebank_pos_tagger')
