• Katakana reading: this system converts the
  input Japanese text (Kanji/Hiragana) into its katakana reading
  form.
• Katakana pronunication: this system converts
  the input Japanese text (Kanji/Hiragana) into its katakana
  pronunciation form.
• Revised Hepburn: This is the most widely used
  romanization system.
• Kunrei-shiki: This romanization system has
  been standardized by the Japanese Government and the International
  Organisation for Standardisation as ISO 3602. It is a modified
  version of the Nihon-shiki system for modern standard Japanese.
