About

Point your camera at a sign, a menu or a page, and see how to say every word and what it means, in English. Furigana Reader is for anyone who can't read kanji yet, whether you are learning Japanese or finding your way around Japan. English sits beside the Japanese everywhere in the app. READ IT IN A SECOND - Read on your phone in about a second, even offline - Furigana, romaji and English for every word, with its JLPT level where it has one - READING: swipe your photo to see the readings laid right on it - Read aloud, with a choice of voice and speed - Up to 3 photos at once, or 10 on Pro - Crop and rotate a photo before it is read - Delete junk lines, so only the text you want is left KEEP WHAT YOU LEARN - Save words to folders and review them with flashcards - Export to Anki, with pictures - Boards: make a page of your trip with photos, cut-out stickers (iOS 17 or later) and word labels pointing at the words, then share it as a picture - History: every scan kept as a gallery of your photos GET THE WHOLE SENTENCE AI Explain, on Plus and Pro, gives a natural translation, the meaning of each word in its sentence, and grammar notes. AI Explain is not available in the EEA, Switzerland or the UK. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your photos stay on your phone. A photo leaves it only when you choose AI Explain, and then only that photo, to Google's Gemini. PLANS - Free: 3 scans a day, plus 3 more for each short ad, up to 18. No AI Explain. - Plus, $3.99 a month: 50 scans and 15 AI Explains a day. - Pro, $9.99 a month: unlimited scans, 50 AI Explains a day, batches of 10 photos, and cloud sync. Plus and Pro have no ads. Subscriptions renew every month until you cancel them in your App Store account settings.
