KanjiYome: Learn Japanese

Learn Japanese from the things you actually want to read. Point your camera at any Japanese text: every word gets furigana, a translation and a full dictionary entry. Tap it and it becomes a flashcard that comes back exactly when you are about to forget it. Everything works offline, with no ads.

SCAN ANY TEXT

• Offline translation, sentence by sentence
• Romaji available everywhere, so you can start before you can read kana
