KanjiYome: Learn Japanese

You get stuck on a word. You open a dictionary. You lose the thread. You close the book.

KanjiYome breaks that loop. Point your camera at Japanese text: every word gets its furigana, its translation and a full dictionary entry, with no connection. Tap the word that stopped you and it becomes a flashcard that comes back right before you would have forgotten it.

Whatever you actually wanted to read becomes your textbook.

SCAN ANY TEXT
• Offline Japanese OCR, vertical text (tategaki) included
• Stronger manga recognition (optional downloadable module), where a general-purpose OCR trips over speech-bubble fonts
• Automatic furigana: everywhere, or only from a JLPT level down
• Offline translation, sentence by sentence
• Romaji available everywhere, so you can start before you can read kana
• Share text from any app ("KanjiYome" in the text menu)

REAL JAPANESE, EVERY DAY
• A feed of more than 230,000 authentic sentences, graded to your level: one sentence per screen, you try to read it, you tap the word you are missing, you move on. Free and unlimited.
• 70 graded texts from N5 to N1, with automatic reading progress
• Texts composed on demand once you are through the rest
• A daily goal, a day streak and quests, so it lasts beyond week one
