Development status is still fresh and a little bit experimental. I am happy to hear about your #experiences across different OS and from CPU-only users. And please, be patient in case of issues -- my primary role is being a researcher :)

The package takes care of (most of) the backend installations🦾, sentence tokenization ✂️, text cleaning 🪥, language detection, and translation 👅.
It uses your CUDA GPU if available!
Let me know about your experiences and use github for troubleshooting: github.com/thieled/easi...
