## What is Aomi Japanese?

Aomi Japanese is the very 1st app that trains your Japanese speaking skills and pronunciation by using pitch-accent recognition & visualization technology.

Practicing with Aomi Japanese will:

• Develop your articulation
• Help you to learn proper pronunciation
• Activate your listening comprehension
• Enrich your vocabulary with a variety of useful expressions used by native speakers in everyday life

The unique feature of Aomi is its visualized pronunciation. You are not only comparing yourself with the native speaker just by listening to pronunciation, but also by actually seeing how well you match it.

Why is it important?

The Japanese language is a musical language. Unlike English, it doesn’t have a stress-accent but it has a “musical accent” known as pitch-accent. 

Pitch-accent is a decrease or increase in the tone of voice between syllables in a single word. Our technology analyzes pitch patterns of your voice and compares them to the proper pitch patterns of a native speaker. Then it presents your pronunciation visually in the form of a "wave". The wave indicates the highs and lows of the pitch. 

It helps you to compare your pronunciation not only by audio but also visually by comparing your “wave” with the “wave” of the native speaker.

By following visualized pronunciation you will see the actual patterns of the Japanese speech and learn proper pronunciation much faster than you would do just by listening. 

Everyday, Aomi provides you with a training, which consists of expressions that native speakers use in their daily life + the examples of how those expressions can be used. 

As you continue practicing day after day, you will naturally develop a proper articulation, which will make you sound like a native speaker. And your speech will be enriched with useful vocabulary that can’t be found in an ordinary textbook. 

All the materials from Trainings will be accessible to you in the app's “Glossary”. You can practice pronunciation of any word or phrase as much as you want at any time, anywhere. 

In addition to Training and Glossary you can freely explore and practice slang, loan words, tongue twisters and many other words and phrases that will boost your speaking skills even further.

Practicing with Aomi everyday you will create your personal language environment free of any embarrassment, available to you at any time, anywhere.

### 1/5 — Auto crash

*2025-12-06, version 1.7.2*

Will automatically crash and only stays open for a split second. I tried absolutely everything to fix the problem, nothing works. Do not download this app if you want something you can actually use.

### 2/5 — Don’t! There’s better apps

*2025-09-13, version 1.7.2*

Tried it alongside some over language apps like TEUIDA. This one is horrific. As soon as I tried lesson one it throws sentences at you, not even just one word ones to build up to it. I get the pitch is important but pronunciation of words and saying them correctly has more value. The app could do so much better but I wouldn’t say it’s beginner friendly. Honestly use the many other better apps out there.

### 2/5 — AI based Japanese

*2025-07-22, version 1.7.0*

I’m a native Japanese. I wanted to see if I can recommend it to my students but unfortunately, the voice is produced by AI, and sentences sounded weird. The idea is good but it needs improvement absolutely.

### 1/5 — App automatically crashes

*2025-03-10, version 1.7.0*

I downloaded this app just a moment ago. Then I exited out of the app. Whenever I click on the app again, it just crashes in a split second. I’ve tried redownloading the app, and restarting my phone, nothing works. Please fix this app.

### 3/5 — I’m conflicted

*2025-01-30, version 1.7.0*

On the one hand I really like the idea of this and can see it being really useful. On the other, I wish that there was just a bit more in the free version and I was disappointed that the app is only checking tone, not pronunciation or what you are actually saying at all (I got 99% by just saying “ahhhhhhh” but matching the tone curve.

I think this has a lot of potential, and I hope to be able to update this review in the future with more stars.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2024-12-02, version 1.7.0*

Seems cool but it constantly tells me I have 0% accuracy when pronouncing. Which is a little hard to believe considering I’ve been studying for two years. 大変だ🙄

### 5/5 — Just what i have been looking for

*2024-09-01, version 1.7.0*

英語学習のELSAのように、日本語のELSAバージョンです。最高です。これからの進化を楽しみです。

### 5/5 — wonderful learning tool

*2024-06-03, version 1.6.9*

I’ve been looking to learn pitch accents (so difficult!) and this app is perfect. After listening to a native speaker, recording myself, then comparing the two, I can hear the difference much more clearly. I’m also extremely impressed by the app’s ability to draw the pitch accent when I speak, which is so good for visualizing. This app is helping me to train my ear. I see that a lot of the vocabulary words are “coming soon,” so I’m looking forward to more content being added. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Problems

*2024-04-26, version 1.6.8*

App will not proceed past the first lesson. How can one test how it works without having to pay for a yearly subscription?

### 4/5 — Consider to subscribe

*2024-04-21, version 1.6.8*

It have just done for a half but I see It’s helpful. Please update it
