About TextBlob
TextBlob is a Python library for processing textual data, offering a simple API to perform common natural language processing tasks such as part-of-speech tagging, noun phrase extraction, sentiment analysis, and classification. It stands on the giant shoulders of NLTK and Pattern, and plays nicely with both. Key features include tokenization (splitting text into words and sentences), word and phrase frequencies, parsing, n-grams, word inflection (pluralization and singularization) lemmatization, spelling correction, and WordNet integration. TextBlob is compatible with Python versions 2.7 and above, and 3.5 and above. It is actively developed on GitHub and is licensed under the MIT License. Comprehensive documentation, including a quick start guide and tutorials, is available to assist users in implementing various NLP tasks.

NLTK
The Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) is a comprehensive, open source Python library designed for human language data processing. It offers user-friendly interfaces to over 50 corpora and lexical resources, such as WordNet, along with a suite of text processing libraries for tasks including classification, tokenization, stemming, tagging, parsing, and semantic reasoning. NLTK also provides wrappers for industrial-strength NLP libraries and maintains an active discussion forum. Accompanied by a hands-on guide that introduces programming fundamentals alongside computational linguistics topics, and comprehensive API documentation, NLTK is suitable for linguists, engineers, students, educators, researchers, and industry professionals. It is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms. Notably, NLTK is a free, community-driven project.

fastText
fastText is an open source, free, and lightweight library developed by Facebook's AI Research (FAIR) lab for efficient learning of word representations and text classification. It supports both unsupervised learning of word vectors and supervised learning for text classification tasks. A key feature of fastText is its ability to capture subword information by representing words as bags of character n-grams, which enhances the handling of morphologically rich languages and out-of-vocabulary words. The library is optimized for performance and capable of training on large datasets quickly, and the resulting models can be reduced in size for deployment on mobile devices. Pre-trained word vectors are available for 157 languages, trained on Common Crawl and Wikipedia data, and can be downloaded for immediate use. fastText also offers aligned word vectors for 44 languages, facilitating cross-lingual natural language processing tasks.
