Reviews
The strength of Robo-Sensei is clearly evident in its answer-judging capability. It gives remarkably flexible feedback by analyzing the student's input, and not by predicted incorrect answers.

Robo-Sensei is an interactive software program for learning and practicing grammar principles that are essential to the mastery of Japanese. Using artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and an enjoyable one-on-one method, Robo-Sensei provides detailed feedback to students as they work through a fun series of 24 modules from beginning to advanced levels.
Within Robo-Sensei's colorful program, you'll be taken through a series of practice drills, such as fill-in-the-blank, sentence composition, dictation, and reading short letters and passages, that mimic real-life communicative situations. As you compose your own sentences in response to each new situation, Robo-Sensei uses artificial intelligence technology to interpret your responses, correct your mistakes, and provide feedback on the nature of your errors. Robo-Sensei provides learners with the opportunity to practice Japanese anywhere — at home, while traveling, or in a school language lab — and receive specific feedback to help improve their particular weaknesses.
A demo version of Robo-Sensei is available at the following website.
