Kanji: Japanese Translator

Point your camera at a Japanese menu, sign or label: kanji reads it and explains it in your language, line by line, prices included.

Handwritten menus are where other translators give up. Chalkboards, daily specials, paper signs taped to a window: kanji was built for exactly those.

HONEST BY DESIGN Translations are marked when uncertain instead of being invented, and the app tells you what it is doing while it reads.
