試用期間は❓

料金の回数なのかその都度かが分かりません。

most accurate and efficient kanji reader i’ve tried

this app is fast, accurate, and easy to use. in a lot of kanji readers i’ve tried out(even chatgpt), the AI gets quite confused with kanji with multiple readings, and with pictures that have furigana or other unrelated characters surrounding the kanji you want read. i have yet to have see any error with the readings that have been given to me! Very impressive!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m really glad to hear that you found the app fast, accurate, and easy to use. Kanji with multiple readings and images with furigana can be tricky, so it means a lot to know that the readings have been consistently correct for you. Your feedback is truly encouraging!

改善期待

ふりがなの正確性はないようです。また画像の読み込み時間も長く待っているのがストレスです。改善期待しています。

Response from developer

レビューありがとうございます。カメラ機能をアップグレードしました。また、結果のシェアも可能になりました。これからも快適にご利用いただけるよう改善を続けてまいります。

Useful

I don’t know much kanji, so this is a useful app when I want to translate. It heats up my phone a little, but overall very nice app

Thank you for your review!

カメラスキャン機能は良いけど。

カメラスキャン機能があるのが素晴らしい。スキャン性能は早く正確ですごいと思ったが、人物名や地名など、ふりがなを必要とする読み難い文字のふりがな正確さには問題有りです…。
改行のため分裂した文字のふりがなも不正確になってしまいます。
正しい読み方を知るためには使えません。

Response from developer

レビューありがとうございます。 人物名や地名などは本アプリの苦手とするところです。 「ふりがなおしえて」というAIがふりがなを振るアプリを作りましたので、よろしければそちらをお試しください。
