I actually ended up rolling my own. There are some tricky cases involved, and I wanted full control over it.
- chrisvasselli 11y agoActually, I should give some proper credit here. My husband Justin wrote this component, which turned out awesome. He's really into Japanese linguistics. =)
- glandium 11y agoWould you have specific examples of things that wouldn't have been possible with e.g. mecab or chasen?
- chrisvasselli 11y agoTo be honest, I haven't spent a huge amount of time exploring mecab and chasen, although I probably should. The decision to write our own was partially just because it seemed like a fun academic exercise, and we learned a lot from building it. We also have some features in mind for the future that it will be useful to have deep control over the the tokenizing and deconjugation, but those haven't made it into the app yet.
