Extension summary
Furigana (振り仮名) is chrome extension that convert kanji (japanese text) to furigana, that is a japanese text with small hints above each word how to pronounce it. For known words it also displays english meaning of the word. It uses my own dictionary-based kanji tokenizer. Data are from EDICT dictionary plus my own data.
Unlike similar extensions (e.g. IPA Furigana), this one converts all kanji, not just the hard ones. It also converts hiragana and katakana.
For example:
Original: 時速５０１キロ体験！リニアモーターカー車内映像 ！
Furigana: jisoku 501 kiro taiken! rinia mootaakaa shanai eizou!
IPA Furigana: jisoku ５０１キロ taiken ！リニアモーターカーshanai eizou!
How to use it?
