Abstract
A speech recognition training system for Kanji-based languages is provided. The system loads a pronunciation aid for each and every ideograph in the training speech, but does not in fact display an ideograph until the training system recognizes a pronunciation difficulty. Once a pronunciation difficulty is identified, the associated pronunciation aid (rubi) for the troubling ideograph is displayed.
