TypeKana

You can read Japanese kana. But can you actually type them?

TypeKana trains you to type fast and without thinking on your iPhone's real Japanese keyboard — the skill everyone forgets to train while learning Japanese. Reading ひらがな and カタカナ is one thing. Typing them naturally on the flick keyboard, without hunting for each key, is what makes you truly comfortable: writing a message, looking up a word, chatting with Japanese friends.

No account, no sign-up: open the app and start practicing right away. An internet connection is only needed to show the ads that keep the app free.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• By theme — animals, food, verbs, colors, greetings and more, to build your vocabulary word by word • By JLPT level — words and sentences ranked N5 to N3, to review for the exam • My lists — build your own word lists to review, with your own translations • Race mode — 60 seconds on the clock, type as many words as you can and beat your record • 4 display modes — Kana, Kanji, Hint or Test, to progress from a fully shown word to pure recall, at your own pace

HOW IT WORKS

A 3-step tutorial walks you through adding and using your iPhone's Japanese keyboard — even if you've never touched it. Every keystroke, every correct answer, comes with satisfying sound and haptic feedback.
