How this service works
List the possible readings of a Japanese (JP) name — person, company, or place — each with a probability, since names like 山崎 (やまざき / やまさき) are ambiguous without context. Returns hiragana, katakana, and romaji per candidate. Use for CRM name-matching, furigana fields, and call-list preparation.
Output
A JSON object containing the input name, a list of candidate readings each with hiragana and romaji representations and a probability score, plus an overall confidence value. For example, 山崎太郎 might return Yamazaki Taro (68%) and Yamasaki Taro (32%) as candidates with a confidence of 0.85.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“What are all the possible readings for the Japanese name 山崎太郎 in both romaji and hiragana, with probabilities for each?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://furigana.agentic-jp.com/name-readingsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need phonetic readings of Japanese proper names written in kanji, especially when multiple valid readings exist and you want ranked probability candidates. Ideal for name disambiguation, form auto-fill, pronunciation guides, or romanization of person names in Japanese databases. Prefer this over a general furigana endpoint when the input is specifically a personal name rather than general Japanese text.
Side effects
- Non-Japanese or non-kanji input may return low confidence or empty candidates
- Rare or unusual kanji combinations may yield low probability scores
- Payment failure via x402 returns a 402 Payment Required error before processing
- Malformed or empty input string returns a validation error
- Names with extremely common kanji that have many readings may return low individual probabilities
