The Text Similarity API computes surface similarity between two pieces of text (long or short) using well known measures namely Jaccard, Dice and Cosine. Determining similarity between texts is crucial to many applications such as <em>clustering, duplicate removal, merging similar topics or themes, text retrieval and etc</em>.

"text1": "iphone 4s black new",
"text2": "iphone 4s black old"
</pre>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
