Using mecab to split Japanese words better?

Support & Feedback Forum

I’ve been using lingq for a month and then some, pretty good so far, however when comparing it to splitting words with MECAB, it can be pretty strange sometimes. Most notably the TTS not matching the actual word because it’s joining without changing the reading. MECAB can find multi word expressions and conjugations very well.

it’s open source and almost ready to use.

Hope this can make it to the dev team for consideration.

Thanks.

By the way here’s a javascript compilation of it that can be tested online for comparison.
