OJAD has been developed by Minematsu-laboratory of Graduate School of Engineering of UTokyo, and provides you with not only word accent information but also visual aids for pronunciation learning. The OJAD web-site is http://www.gavo.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ojad/

Prof. Minematsu, the leader of OJAD project, will come to give a talk on Japanese prosody, speech synthesis, and hands-on training of OJAD. If you are interested, please take part in the workshop with your lap-top or tablet. (The screen of iPhone may be too small.) Your PC or tablet needs to have an internet access in the library.

You can just walk in on the day, but to secure the seats and allow us to send you the workshop material in advance, please send an e-mail titled OJAD to ilo@k.u-tokyo.ac.jp by 18th of April.

We are looking forward to seeing you in the library.
