The algorithm is based on the correlation introduced by the cyclic prefix, which is exploited in the time domain where the time offset is estimated. Although the algorithm is too complex to be implemented on today's most powerful standard DSP, a hardware architecture th

The system was applied to Japanese, but the exercises could easily be altered to suit other languages as well. There are exercises for learning vocabulary, hiragana (see Writing system below) and grammar. The focus is on sy
