## What is Haiku Techo?

"Haiku Techo" is an app that allows you to create, register, and manage haiku, senryu, and tanka poems. You can create "photo haiku" by adding photos, add ruby annotations, manage submission destinations, and play audio of your works.


● Manage works by notebook
When you launch the app, the notebook list screen is displayed first.
Works can be created for each notebook, so you can freely create and manage notebooks such as "Haiku Techo" for haiku only, "Tanka Techo" for tanka only, or "2025 Techo" for works created only in 2025.

● Beautiful work display screen
Registered works can be enjoyed on a beautiful screen with washi paper as the background. Operation is simple; you can switch between works by scrolling up and down.

● Output of work images (screenshot capture)
You can take screenshots of the beautiful work display screen and save them to your device. This is convenient when posting images to your social media.

● Ruby annotations
You can add ruby annotations to your works. Any number of ruby annotations can be set.

● Audio playback
Registered works can be read aloud using the OS voice playback function. When you switch to the next work, it will automatically continue reading that work.

● Image registration/Calendar display
You can also enjoy creating "photo haiku" or "photo tanka" by registering images.
Photos are also displayed on the calendar screen, so if you repeatedly create a poem using photos taken during your daily walks, you can enjoy the pleasure of filling the calendar with your works.

● Text placement
You can choose the position of the work text from 9 locations, such as top left, center, or bottom right. This is convenient when you want to place text in a position that doesn't overlap with the subject when registering your favorite photos.

● Memo, submission/posting destination management
This is convenient because you can input and save necessary text for each.

● Excel Output
You can export your created works collectively as Excel format data.

● Supported languages
This app only supports Japanese.
