Summary

WaniKanify 2.0 takes the vocabulary you've studied on WaniKani, finds the English word on a webpage and substitutes the kanji character. As you learn more kanji, your webpages begin to fill up with kanji! WaniKanify 2.0 can find words anywhere on a webpage and replace it for kanji characters.
