How to get all words from spacy vocab?

Question

I need all the words from Spacy vocab. Suppose, I initialize my spacy model as

nlp = spacy.load('en')

How do I get the text of words from nlp.vocab?

What do you need exactly?spacy's vocabulary dict for English? — Green, Feb 02 '19 at 19:25
yes. I am trying to use the nlp.vocab without explicitly downloading it from a URL. Then, use it as a corpus for spell correction(symspell). — pauli, Feb 03 '19 at 05:12

You can get it as a list like this:

list(nlp.vocab.strings)

As of spaCy v3.0, we need to run

python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

and then e.g.

import spacy
nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")
words = set(nlp.vocab.strings)
word = 'would'
print(f"Is '{word}' an English word: {word in words}")  # True
