Top 7 NLP (Natural Language Processing) APIs [Updated for 2021]

By Team RapidAPI // January 8, 2021

What is NLP (Natural Language Processing)?

Natural language processing (NLP) is an area of computer science and artificial intelligence concerned with the interactions between computers and human (natural) languages, in particular how to program computers to process and analyze large amounts of natural language data. Challenges in natural language processing frequently involve speech recognition, natural language understanding, and natural language generation. -

    Hi,
    I’ve sent you information about the VisualText IDE for NLP, as well as the NLP++ programming language, the only such language developed specifically for NLP. These were developed and have been in use for 20 years, and have been used by customers including IBM, NASDAQ, and ETS. The courtesy of a reference on your page, or at the very least a reply, is much appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Amnon Meyers
