About textgenrnn

textgenrnn is an open-source Python library designed to simplify the process of training and generating text with recurrent neural networks. Built on top of Keras and TensorFlow, it allows users to create text-generating models of varying size and complexity using just a few lines of code. The library supports training on any text dataset, making it accessible for tasks ranging from creative writing to data augmentation. As an open-source tool hosted on GitHub, it is freely available for modification and distribution under the MIT license.
