POWER FEATURES (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) • Camera & OCR Import: Scan printed Japanese and read it with tappable text. • Vocabulary Builder: Save words as you read; export to CSV for Anki. • Reading Stats: Track volume, streaks, and vocabulary growth. SHARE & IMPORT ANYWHERE • Send text from Safari and other apps via the Share menu—no copy-paste. • Keep all your Japanese texts organized in one library and available offline.
