chasen ‐ Japanese Morphological Analysis System
Contents
Description
chasen is a morphological analysis system. It can segment and tokenize Japanese text string, and can
output with many additional information (pronunciation, semantic information, and others).
It will print the result of such an operation to the standard output, so that it can be either written to
a file or further processed.
