よむ

Read Japanese where you already read it.

よむ makes Japanese text, subtitles, and images tappable. Click or hover a word to see its reading, furigana, pitch accent, dictionary meanings, examples, and study status. It works on ordinary web pages, YouTube subtitles, manga and images through OCR, and local files when you allow file access.

You stay in control. Import Yomitan dictionaries for offline lookup, or connect Jiten, JPDB, Bunpro, and Anki when you want them. Choose how pages are handled: leave them unchanged, scan Japanese automatically, or scan only when you ask.

The extension also includes a focused study page for vocabulary and kanji review. Open Study from Yomu's toolbar whenever you want it. Yomu never replaces or redirects your browser's new-tab page. A fresh standalone Study session begins at Word, then continues through your chosen review sequence.
