Furiganar

Translation isn't always the answer. Sometimes you don't need to know the meaning — you need to know how to read it. Imagine you're at a station and see 研究学園. A translator says "Tsukuba Research Park" — but what do you tell the taxi driver? Furiganar gives you けんきゅうがくえん (Kenkyū-gakuen). The reading, not the meaning. Built for my neighbors who struggle to read Japanese every day. Living in Japan shouldn't mean being stuck at every sign, menu, or notice.
