KanaPulse: Learn Japanese!

Most apps teach you to recognize Japanese. KanaPulse trains you to produce it — by ear, from memory, under a little pressure. That's the difference between "I think that's あ" and actually knowing it.

The whole app is built around one loop: hear it, read it, type it from memory. And it scales with you — from your first kana all the way to reading real kanji, N5 to N1.

— HOW IT WORKS — • Listen to a sentence, then type what you hear, character by character. • No multiple choice. No tapping. You either know it or you don't — and that's exactly how you learn it. • Get it wrong and you'll see precisely where you hesitated.

— KANA DICTATION — • Type real Japanese stories in hiragana and katakana from memory. • Native-style audio for every sentence. • A growing library of graded stories.

— KANJI READING (N5 → N1) — • Read real kanji and type the reading from memory. • Furigana fades as you master each JLPT level — keep the reading shown for levels you're still learning, hide it for the ones you own. • Every kanji is colour-coded by JLPT level, so your progress is visible at a glance. • A kanji "wall" lights up as you unlock characters, and a focus list shows exactly which kanji you still need work on.

— STUDY & REVIEW — • Learn new characters with a clean, focused study mode. • A spaced-repetition (SRS) engine schedules reviews so nothing slips away. • Free Practice cycles through your chosen groups to lock in recognition.

— COMPETE & TRACK — • PvP: race another learner through the same story in real time — fastest with the best accuracy wins. • Detailed stats for kana and kanji accuracy, plus a global leaderboard. • Your progress syncs instantly between iPhone and the web app.

— BUILT FOR EVERYONE — • Available in 30+ interface languages. • Light and dark mode.

Start free, then unlock the full library and every JLPT level.
