Japanese API

Japanese G2P uses pyopenjtalk for text analysis and mora-based phoneme generation.

Main Class

Examples

from kokorog2p.ja import JapaneseG2P

g2p = JapaneseG2P(language="ja")
tokens = g2p("こんにちは世界")

for token in tokens:
    print(f"{token.text} -> {token.phonemes}")

Features

  • pyopenjtalk for full Japanese text analysis

  • Mora-based phoneme generation

  • Automatic pitch accent assignment

  • Japanese numeral handling

Cutlet membership dictionary

The optional Cutlet backend uses the provisioned Lexphon ja:lexhint dictionary for lazy known-word membership checks. KokoroG2P does not package a Japanese word-list source or generated membership asset. Install the local asset before using Cutlet:

lexphon data install ja:lexhint
lexphon data verify ja:lexhint

The default PyOpenJTalk backend retains its existing pronunciation and pitch path and does not require the LexHint asset.
