Sentences Pitch Accent

[u/Additional-Gas-5119]

Is there any website or app that shows the pitch accent of a spesific sentence? I couldn't find anything about pitch accent except takoboto. And as you know, takoboto only shows the words accent, not the sentence. So i wonder if there is any app or website which shows the pitch accent of the sentence you text to it. If you guys know smth please let me know 🙏🏼🙏🏼

OJAD, and in particular, "Prosody Tutor Suzuki-kun". This will analyze a sentence for you and show both traditional accent indicators (line over high mora, with a hook down to indicate the pitch drop) as well as a pitch curve showing the expected (average) actual pitch across the sentence.

Its kinda challenging for me the understand the details. Can you explain the functions in a beginner level please 😅😅. I wrote some example sentences but it was kinda different than the takaboto and japandict's pitch accent. It was more like a graphic table. And also there was some letters underlined with red. Whenever i touch a letter the graphic also changed. I am not that advanced so if you can help me that would be a big help for me 🙏🏼

If you put in 行きましょう and press 'Analyze' with the default settings, it should generate below a hill-shaped graph, and then いきましょう with a line above it and then 行きましょう

The hill-shaped graph shows the actual pitch.

いきましょう has lines indicating the pitch.

い has no line because it is low, き、ま have a line above them because they are high. しょ has a red hooked line above it because this is the accented mora, it is high but the pitch falls at the end of it. う has no line because it is low.

If you click on the characters, you can change the pitch from what was generated, toggling from high to low, and that will change the markings and the graph.... but then you're not looking at the algorithmically generated pitch anymore. You would only do that if you thought the pitch was 'wrong' and wanted to fix it, but in your case you're asking Suzuki-kun's opinion. You just want to read the output, not 'fix' it.

Below that in smaller grayer letters is 行きましょう ... this is your original input, which can be a useful reference if your original input contained kanji since the pitch-accent line will be kana.

You can also then "Generate" a voice synthesis in any of 4 voices (F1 F2 M1 M2 -- 2 each female and male) but pitch accuracy aside it's not great quality. I don't usually do this. If you fiddled with the output, it will be in whatever pitch accent you created.

The interface looks complicated because there's a lot of settings, but you don't need to touch those, just write or paste in a sentence and use the analyze button and read the output. Maybe use the 'generate' and 'playback' buttons if you want to hear the voice.

Oh and also, i want to ask you one more thing. What is the different between き、ま which have lines under them and しょ which has a red line under it? What is the difference of it? I couldn't understand that very well.
