Auto Furigana: Adding Romaji to Japanese Language

'Auto Furigana' is a helpful Chrome extension specifically designed for learners of Japanese language. This tool automatically inserts romaji rubi characters above any Japanese text, providing readability for those still learning the script. Moreover, it also offers translated meanings of words when you mouseover them. Note, however, that the extension may not guarantee perfectly accurate word segmentation and kanji pronunciation due to the complexities of Japanese language.

User reviews

Name should really be changed to "Auto Romaji", because this doesn't provide the more helpful and aesthetic true furigana / ruby.

Mask Thomalier, 2025-02-27

Maybe the only god-like extension which can add romaji to all the Japanese (not only Kanji)

Hare Menjou, 2025-01-22

Exactly what I was looking for (and some more).
