My tools.conf looks like this and I am using brat for annotation for my own NLP tasks (dealing with Japanese text) for a few months now but I don't think brat is recognizing different words/tokens. MeCab can be used to generate output in several different formats. Could you tell me what kind of output brat is assuming?

It was several years since I last looked at the MeCab code and I can not remember the exact format we used, if you send the same question to the mailing list I will try to have a look at it within a few days."}}
