Japanese text input by speech based on Japanese character readings.

A Trial Of Japanese Text Input System Using Speech Recognition

Since written Japanese texts are expressed by many kinds of characters, input technique is most difficult when Japanese information is processed by computers. Therefore a task-independent Japanese text input system which has a speech analyzer as a main input device and a keyboard as an auxiliary device was designed and it has been implemented. The outline and experience of this system is descri...

KooSHO: Japanese Text Input Environment based on Aerial Hand Writing

Hand gesture-based input systems have been in active research, yet most of them focus only on single character recognition. We propose KooSHO: an environment for Japanese input based on aerial hand gestures. The system provides an integrated experience of character input, Kana-Kanji conversion, and search result visualization. To achieve faster input, users only have to input consonant, which i...

Collocational analysis in Japanese text input

This paper proposes a new disambiguation method for Japanese text input. This method evaluates candidate sentences by measuring the number of Word Co-occurrence Patterns (WCP) included in the candidate sentences. An automatic WCP extraction method is also developed. An extraction experiment using the example sentences from dictionaries confirms that WCP can be collected automaticMly with an acc...

Japanese Text Input System With Digits

CRF-based statistical learning of Japanese accent sandhi for developing Japanese text-to-speech synthesis systems

In Japanese, every content word has its own H/L pitch pattern when it is uttered isolatedly, called accent type. In a TTS system, this lexical information is usually stored in a dictionary and it is referred to for prosody generation. When converting a written sentence to speech, however, this lexical H/L pattern is often changed according to the context, known as word accent sandhi. This accen...
