About
- Possibly Still Under Construction: Started January 29, 2017.
- These are some English-Japanese sentences that use "wildcards" from the Tatoeba Corpus.
- Each sentence pair is followed by two computer-generated substitutions for each tatoeba.org sentence.
- These are randomly-generated each time you reload the pages, so if you reload these pages, you will see new sentences.
- Non-name Substitutions
Note that the name Tom can also often be substituted with things like the following.
Some randomly-selected phrases may not create natural-sounding sentences. However, a little human common-sense can easily spot those.
- he, she
- the man over there, the guy sitting under the tree, ...
- the guy we were talking about yesterday, the person who gave you that hat, ...
- my father, my brother, my uncle, my teacher, my doctor, my cousin, ...
- the doctor, the teacher, the boss, the bus driver, ...
- Linux and TTS
- Maybe this will work in Firefox with the following installed.
- http://espeak.sourceforge.net/
- However, I've heard that it doesn't sound very natural.
