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!

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
