User reviews

IT DOESNT WORK FOR LEARNING AT ALL

Okay I just bought it and I am just disappointed with it, could be helpful for Japanese people for sure or maybe not...the voice is complete awful I can't hear it well to repeat it phonetically...sorry it not good for learning at all.

Good start but terrible voice

The voice synthesiser is impossible to understand. In this software it reads out one single kana phoneme at a time. I am a bit disappointed that it did not live up to expectation but I hope it can be improved.
I think it could be useful for disabled people. I bought it for putting together sentences and listen to how they sound as a learning aid. Unfortunately I can not recommend it for that.
