Letter Tokenizer
editLetter Tokenizer
editA tokenizer of type letter that divides text at non-letters. That’s to
say, it defines tokens as maximal strings of adjacent letters. Note,
this does a decent job for most European languages, but does a terrible
job for some Asian languages, where words are not separated by spaces.
