Adding furigana to kanji on Twitter

What is mirigana?

Mirigana is a unique Chrome Extension designed specifically for learning the pronunciation of Kanji characters used in tweets on Twitter. The extension uses either a built-in or online engine to parse the Kanji characters and add the Furigana - a reading aid designed to pronounce the Kanji correctly. The Furigana size and color are also adjustable to suit the user's preferences. What makes Mirigana even more unique is that the Furigana will still be added upon copying the text from the tweet, thus ensuring a seamless and flexible learning experience.
