SVOX Japanese/日本 Misaki Voice for Android
Have Misaki read aloud texts from your e-book, navigation, translation and other apps in a Japanese female, high quality and natural-sounding voice powered by SVOX.
When combined with TTS-enabled apps, Misaki can:
- give directions, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road while you're driving
- read a notification containing the caller / sender's name, and read the content of an incoming call / sms / mms / email
- read aloud your favorite e-books or pdf documents
- help you learn Japanese by reading aloud the correct pronunciation
and much more… the possibilities are limitless!

Cannot download purchased voice data anymore!
just got my refund in time
There are serious bugs, support unresponsive. the developers are unreachable. find another tts app.
Does the job, more or less, but frequent errors. It doesn't inspire confidence when even in the built-in example sentence "Misaki" 美咲 pronounces "her" own name as"Yoshisaki." Dtalker is generally more accurate. Downgraded a further star on 15.1.15 as there is evidently no dev interest in improving the app. Google text-to-speech is both free and better than this, although it ignores pitch accent, unlike Dtalker.

It mispronounces "na" and says "nom". Sounds at times like Chinese and not Japanese. Basic phonetic mispronunciations or error in recording, causes mispronounced words. Speed control barely slows voice down. Very slow download of Japanese file, and from wireless connection. Company appears not to know what's it doing, besides trying to trick people out of money.
Its very good, but major pernocation of words need to be addressed instead of spelling the word out in half english & half japanese. Please fix asap
failed to download the data file despite 28 attempts which included rebooting, different ROMs including stock. DHD rooted
Very disappointed. Didn't find out until after I purchased that it didn't support Japanese spoken language, so I had to purchase separate SVOX app.
Now using Android 2.3.4.08.605, Webkit 533.1, App. V3.1.0
Works awesome together with CueBrain for practicing my vocabulary!
Good but language could be more natural. For the price it is a mediocre deal...better than nothing. Will improve rating as quality increases.
It is a shame that the SVOX line/series of tts hasn't had more success. When used correctly they're GR8! :-) ! HTC Evo
Decent voice, however it is not automatically selected when you need it.
Good, but it would be nice if the speech engine would automatically select the correct language when reading.
Not bad, wish there was a demo before buying like your other languages. Some of the words sound crackled if played at normal speed.
It didn't work how i thought, it says EVERYTHING tells me when I'm at home screen, if I'm in settings, evertime i type a letter, on web pages. I wanted this for voice apps like good morning, not to tell me what I'm doing every two seconds. I want a refund jf there is no way to fix this.
