A trainable pipeline component for sentence segmentation. For a simpler,
ruse-based strategy, see the [`Sentencizer`](/api/sentencizer). This class is a
subclass of `Pipe` and follows the same API. The component is also available via
the string name `"senter"`. After initialization, it is typically added to the
processing pipeline using [`nlp.add_pipe`](/api/language#add_pipe).

## Default config {#config}

This is the default configuration used to initialize the model powering the
pipeline component. See the [model architectures](/api/architectures)
documentation for details on the architectures and their arguments and
hyperparameters. To learn more about how to customize the config and train
custom models, check out the [training config](/usage/training#config) docs.

```python
https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/blob/develop/spacy/pipeline/defaults/senter_defaults.cfg
```

## SentenceRecognizer.\_\_init\_\_ {#init tag="method"}

Initialize the sentence recognizer.

> #### Example
>
> ```python
> # Construction via create_pipe
> senter = nlp.create_pipe("senter")
>
> # Construction from class
> from spacy.pipeline import SentenceRecognizer
> senter = SentenceRecognizer()
> ```
