About Furigana Reader: Japanese
Learn Japanese by reading real web pages and local PDFs. Furigana Reader adds furigana with contextual readings for compounds and broad kanji coverage. Show readings as hiragana, katakana or romaji, hide them by word frequency, or hide readings for words mastered through FSRS Smart Review. View pitch accent diagrams for correct intonation. Tap Japanese text for pronunciation playback and local dictionary definitions. Translate reader or PDF content into 108 target languages. Listen sentence by sentence with karaoke-style furigana highlighting, adjust playback speed, save vocabulary, sentences and notes, and practise them with listening, flashcards and FSRS. Shadowing lets you record and replay your reading. When strict on-device Japanese recognition is available, the app may show a recognition-based reference score; it is not a precise or phoneme-level pronunciation measurement.
