Abstract(in English) We analyzed the word familiarity and construction of shosaiyomi of screen reader products. The word familiarity and construction were compared among three groups of Kanji difficulty; educational Kanji group, common use Kanji group, and JIS 1 Kanji group. It was found that as the degrees of difficulty increase, (1) the word familiarity lowers, (2) the number of Kanji which can be explained with just pronunciation and paired Kanji characters decreases, and accordingly (3) the number of Kanji which is explained with elements of Kanji or the name of well-known persons or places increases.
