## What is Furigana Reader Kanji Scanner?

Scan any Japanese text with your camera and instantly see furigana readings above every kanji. Perfect for Japanese learners who want to read real-world text without constantly looking up characters.

HOW IT WORKS
Point your camera at Japanese text — signs, menus, books, manga, or anything with kanji. Furigana Reader uses AI to recognize the text and add:
- Furigana (hiragana readings above kanji)
- Romaji (Latin alphabet pronunciation)
- English translations for each line

BUILT FOR LEARNERS
Whether you're studying for JLPT N5 or reading native content, Furigana Reader helps you understand Japanese text at a glance.

FEATURES
- Camera & Photo Scanning: Snap a photo or pick from your gallery
