Japanese mixes three writing systems and puts the verb last, which makes a partial reading useless. Record or paste it and read the whole English sentence, then reply in English and send it back in Japanese.
Kanji, hiragana and katakana arrive mixed in the same sentence — paste it exactly as written.
