KanjiKana

KanjiKana is an app that takes your Japanese input text and converts the kanji into hiragana or adds ruby to the text.

*In order to carry out the kanji - kana conversion, the input text is sent to the conversion server through the network; however, the data is transmitted in encrypted format and is not stored on the server.

Based on the primary school grade, it can leave any kanji already learned unconverted, converting only the kanji that have not been learned yet. In addition, it can also specify commonly used kanji, and kanji used for proper names.

This app is perfect for primary school children or foreigners wishing to learn kanji.
