-Here's a simple example of how you can download and initialise the tokenizer and encoder with just one step.
+Here's a simple example on how to obtain embeddings for sentences using the `LaserEncoderPipeline`:
 
-**Note:** By default, the models will be downloaded to the `~/.cache/laser_encoders` directory. To specify a different download location, you can provide the argument `model_dir=path/to/model/directory` to the initialize_tokenizer and initialize_encoder functions

-When initializing the encoder, you have the option to enable both tokenization and encoding by setting the `tokenize` flag to `True`. Below is an example of how to use it:
-```py
-encoder = initialize_encoder(lang="igbo", spm=True, tokenize=True)
-embeddings = encoder("nnọọ, kedu ka ị mere")

->setting the `spm` flag to `True` tells the encoder to also download the accompanying spm model
+>By default, the `spm` flag is set to `True` when initializing the encoder, ensuring the accompanying spm model is downloaded.
 
 **Supported Languages:** You can specify any language from the [FLORES200](https://github.com/facebookresearch/flores/blob/main/flores200/README.md#languages-in-flores-200) dataset. This includes both languages identified by their full codes (like "ibo_Latn") and simpler alternatives (like "igbo").
