Is there a program to put spaces in Japanese Sentences? - nest0r - 2011-06-29
I don't think the text size matters, but I'm sure the amount of the text's morphemes we're matching does. So for your purposes I think it works.
It seems to use a combination of factors, including the longest. I had just Googled it (and found a variation for English using word boundaries) and experimented and it worked well for my purposes of finding unknowns and adding visual formatting, especially as I felt the conditions of what types of words would be unknown for most users (edit: their role as function words), the contiguity of morphemes, and Rikaisan's dictionary segmentation would take care of any rare errors.
The spaces thing was incidental but I thought I'd share in this thread. ;p

If other OS X users run into the errors mentioned earlier, try installing mecab with Homebrew:
brew install mecab mecab-ipadic
-O wakati also adds spaces around punctuation characters:
$ mecab -O wakati <<< 設定を変更するには、以下の手順に従ってください。
設定 を 変更 する に は 、 以下 の 手順 に 従っ て ください 。
I haven't come up with anything better than this:
$ mecab -F '%m ' -E '\n' <<< 設定を変更するには、以下の手順に従ってください。 | sed -E 's/ ?([、。「」『』]) ?/\1/g'
設定 を 変更 する に は、以下 の 手順 に 従っ て ください。
-F %m = format morpheme. See http://mecab.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mecab/doc/format.html.

Sounds like a good application to use this Speed Reading Trainer with Japanese. It won't work with normal Japanese text since it thinks long sentences are one word. Adding spaces make that a non-issue.

You can now also try it without installing anything on your computer: try MeCab on the web, in your browser: http://fasiha.github.io/mecab-emscripten/ paste your text (or just use the default text that's already there to see how it works), type in "-O wakati" for the flags (without quotes!), and submit.
