Features & Capabilities

Read the Japanese in front of you - and actually remember it.

Scanji turns a photo of Japanese text into readings, dictionary definitions, and real study material, entirely on your device. Point your camera at a sign, a menu, a manga panel, or a textbook page, and Scanji reads it - including vertical text, which most tools miss.

SCAN & READ • Snap a photo (or pick one from your library) - no live camera gimmicks, just accurate results from one still image. • Handles both horizontal and vertical Japanese text. • Tap any word for its furigana reading and dictionary definition, pulled from a full offline Japanese-English dictionary. • Optical zoom on the capture screen for small print. • Quiet capture mode - no shutter sound, ideal for libraries, trains, and other quiet spaces. • Works completely offline. No internet required to scan or look anything up.

SAVE WHAT YOU LEARN • Every scan and every word you look up is saved automatically. • Star favorites to keep them handy.

STUDY - TURN READING INTO VOCABULARY Most translation apps hand you an English sentence and move on. Scanji is built for learners: • Spaced-repetition study (SRS) - review right before you'd forget. • Quiz mode (fast, multiple-choice) or Review mode (Anki-style: reveal, then rate yourself). • Study your own scans, shown right over the photo you took. • JLPT kanji decks, N5 through N1. • Built-in vocabulary decks - common verbs, adjectives, nouns, and adverbs, ranked by real-world frequency. • Progress tracking - a study-activity heatmap, retention stats, and JLPT mastery tracking. • Export your saved words as a spreadsheet or an Anki-importable file.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device. No account, no sign-up, no cloud sync of your scans, no ads, no tracking. Your reading stays on your phone.

Free to scan, read, and build your word history - forever. Scanji Pro unlocks the full study suite (SRS, quizzes, review, JLPT & vocab decks, stats, export). Try Pro free for 14 days.

Scan. Understand. Remember. That's Scanji.
