Can we disable the replacement for KeyboardError with non alphabet?

[sidoki]

Hi @makcedward,

I have purpose to augment the string to with some keyboard error. However, i don't want the characters replaced by non alphabets (e.g: punctuation). Is it possible to disable it? thanks

Will enhance in coming release.

Before that you may modify internal variable to achieve it

text = "testing"
aug = KeyboardAug()
aug.model.include_spec=False
aug.augment(text)

Ok then, thanks man!

@makcedward after test it, i still found the augmenter replace it with number or some symbols (e.g: *, %, @). Is there other workaround for this one? Thanks!

The reason why i need for all the non-alphabets to be removed from the replacement candidates is because i want to mimic the misspelled in the phone keyboard instead desktop keyboard. Maybe we can specific keyboard object like MobileKeyboardAug?

It is fixed and ready for git's master branch. Next version will include this fix and it will be released soon. You may reinstall it before formal release by:
pip install git+https://github.com/makcedward/nlpaug.git

@makcedward Already upgrade it to the latest (v0.0.9), however still found cases where the non-alphabets like number and punctuation still exist.

Thanks for reminder. Just published 0.0.10. Please try again. Here is the sample code

import nlpaug.augmenter.char as nac
aug = nac.KeyboardAug(special_char=False, numeric=False, upper_case=False)
for i in range(10):
    print(aug.augment('qwertyuiopklmzxasd'))
