Leave a Review Furiganify!
Works great!
Not sure why other people are giving bad ratings when it clearly states that this is for Safari only. Works well for me. A few kanji having the wrong pronunciation, but that’s true for almost all the apps I have tried. Great app!R1chieR1ch
Does exactly what I want
Quickly adds furigana to Kanji on a webpage in Safari. Easy to use...not really anything to complain about.Zali
needs updates?
the picture describing how to use the extension appears to be an older model of an iphone and cant be used on other browser than safari🥺jimithay westbrook
Great but too flawed for learning Japanese
This extension has the potential to be great, and I'd really like to rate it 5 stars. Unfortunately, there are too many mistakes in translating kanji to furigana for it to be viable for learning Japanese. This is rectified somewhat if you switch from the default IPADic to the System Dictionary, but there are still mistakes.
I have to recommend Safarikai over this, but if the mistakes are fixed in the future then I think using Safarikai in tandem with Furiganify! could be an excellent way to learn Japanese vocabulary for beginners.Show lessrasnauf
Best for Japanese learners with experience
Pros:
Easy set up.
Not intrusive in its application
Furigana looks fine
Cons:
Application may give the wrong furigana reading
I will explain what I mean above. The application will always give you a correct way of reading a kanji. But sometimes it will give you the wrong one. For instance, in the app, the 新 in 新しく will be given as しん or shin. However, 新しく is read as あたらしく (not しんしく). 新 of course can be read as しん as one of its readings. So you can still use the reading this application gives you to look up the kanji and the word you want to search in the dictionary if you need to. It seems this mainly happens for kanji that appear in words in conjunction with hiragana. So words like 明日 or 食堂 will be fine, while 新しく and 1匹 may have a slight mistake.
I say the application is still good for me because I've studied Japanese for a while now and can pick up on when this happens. The application is useful for me when there's a word I don't know. It just is a slight inconvenience that's all. This is something I'd say is the next step for improving the application. However, as it stands I say it's still very useful and am grateful to have it.Show lessAidan Jackson
lightweight and awesome!
Great extension.HinaOk
Almost there
It does make mistakes on less common words (for a good demo try it on a list of judo techniques)
And It'd be much nicer if it had a filter feature like "Simple Furigana" by the same developer has. So I could have it ignore kanji I already know.fjõlnir
wow
This little tool is a great extention. Currently tying to learn japanese and often come accrose Kanji i dont know. The toggle function allows me to find out the pernunciation so i can look it up and then turn it off so that it does not become a crutch. Thanks a lot.TheoXIII
Not Perfect
This might be good for beginners but if your Japanese is fairly advanced and you just need the occasional assist, it can be kind of annoying.
- I have found quite a few mistakes.
- Does not continue working as you browse, so you have to hit the button every time you go to another page.
- VERY CLUTTERED.
I gave it a three because I would like to see where it goes from here, so I am not deleting it, but it is no replacement for Safarikai which also had a dictionary and only showed the reading if you hovered over a word, so no clutter. Would have given it a 4 if I had not found mistakes.Show lessBrooke Likes Music
It could be better!
I really like being able to read kanji now! But I wish I didn’t have to click the button everytime, I wish I could just leave it on for as long as I need it.SimulationGamer
