Cloze Maker for Japanese and Korean

A tool for teachers (Google Docs™ add-on)

Paste a passage and get a cloze worksheet and an answer key. Japanese has no spaces between words, so it runs proper morphological analysis instead of splitting on spaces. For Korean it separates particles so you can blank them on their own.
