Text Mining and NLP

In the world of Data Analysis, Data Science, Data Engineering; many times we start talking about working with Text. And use the term Text mining loosely. And then start talk about python libraries like nltk, spacy. But in reality, there are two different entities: Text Mining and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Text Mining will deal only with Text data. NLP can deal with Speech, Text, Image. But again, in general, NLP has standard concepts and usually in the common usage means Text Analysis.
