KanjiLens · Japanese OCR

Point your camera at any Japanese text — signs, menus, manga — and watch furigana appear instantly. Tap once to save tricky words to your wordbook.

Read any Japanese text with confidence. KanjiLens detects kanji on the fly through your camera or photos and shows the hiragana reading (furigana) right beside it — so you never have to stop and look up an unfamiliar character.
