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

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

Very good, works well, in live stream chats included. I suddenly can read everything. Hover translation is unreadable, both the text and the background are close to white. An option to only put furigana above words with kanji would be greatly appreciated.

Excellent extension! The only issue is that for webpages with white text, you can't read the translation because the popup window background color is set to while and the translated text shows up the same color as the original. Can you make translated text black by default?
