I read and listen the sentences, then I repeat. I am using your 10,000 sentences method with TTS and I think it’s very useful. I read and listen the sentences, then I repeat.

But I'll do a more detailed post on TTS at some point. I've been using it in my studies/play/whatever with great success. Negative. But I’ll do a more detailed post on TTS at some point.

I tried to find a different one, but I couldn't. Do you know the status of this project? Hey Katz,

When I heard the machine talking, I had these visions of "Star Trek" and universal translators whizzing through my head...Time to go and read some more Ray Kurzweil. I know!

If you put in a single sentence in Japanese, like "テメエ、打っ殺すぞ", then you can't tell the machine from a human being. But when you put in a whole paragraph, it starts to sound odd in certain places--the pauses are a bit off, etc. Not perfect, but definitely a step up. Just like you said, an improvement.

The English is still a tad stilted, but it is certainly an improvement. How does the Japanese compare? To me, a beginner, it sounds fairly natural. How is it in reality? Very interesting.
