About Japanese Reader JP
Read real Japanese faster. Nihongo Reader JP helps Japanese learners turn real reading material into vocabulary they can understand, save, review, and export. Scan a textbook page, menu, screenshot, manga panel, website excerpt, email, game dialogue, or JLPT reading passage. You can confirm and edit the recognized text before parsing. The app then breaks Japanese text into word-sized pieces, checks local dictionary matches, shows readings and meanings, and helps you save unknown words as vocabulary cards with the original source sentence. Why learners use it: - Scan or paste Japanese text instead of searching one word at a time - Confirm OCR text before parsing, so mistakes are easy to fix - See readings, meanings, and local dictionary matches - Save unknown words with the sentence where you found them - Review vocabulary from your real reading, not random word lists - Export reading vocabulary as CSV or Anki TSV with Pro - Use basic word lookup without daily search limits Built for: - JLPT learners reading practice passages - Self-study learners reading websites, books, manga, or game text - Students who want a lightweight Japanese dictionary and vocabulary notebook - Anyone who wants furigana, meanings, and flashcards from real Japanese text The app is built around one simple loop: Scan or paste Japanese text. Understand the words. Save what you do not know. Review it later. Export your reading vocabulary when you need it. Basic dictionary search is free. Pro reading features focus on OCR, longer text parsing, bulk source-sentence vocabulary cards, review, and CSV / Anki export.
