おふでさき朗読

A free reader for "Ofudesaki" — displayed in traditional vertical Japanese text and read aloud by the device's built-in speech synthesis. IMPORTANT: THE TEXT IS IN JAPANESE ONLY This app contains the original Japanese text (historical kana orthography). It does not include an English translation or a modern-language rendering. The app's interface is available in several languages, but the scripture itself is presented only in its original Japanese. ABOUT THIS APP "Ofudesaki" is one of Tenrikyo's three scriptures. This is an unofficial app, built to make the text accessible to people with visual or hearing impairments. It has no affiliation with Tenrikyo Church Headquarters or any related organization, and has not received their official supervision, permission, or endorsement. The app offers no interpretation of doctrine — only a way to read a public-domain text as it was written. THE TEXT The complete text as published on Japanese Wikisource: Parts 1 through 17, 1,711 verses. Presented as-is, with no commentary or modernization. FEATURES - Vertical text display; move through verses horizontally - Read aloud, at speeds from 0.25x to 2x - Playback continues with the screen off - Bookmarks, favorites, and read-progress tracking - Jump directly to any verse number - Adjustable text size ACCESSIBILITY Designed so that blind and low-vision users can listen using VoiceOver and the built-in speech, that users with low vision or age-related sight loss can enlarge the text, and that deaf and hard-of-hearing users can follow the text without relying on audio. ABOUT THE READING AIDS (FURIGANA) Pronunciation readings are not part of the original text; they are data we created ourselves. They are hidden by default and shown only when enabled in settings. Interpretations of historical kana orthography may contain errors. COST The text and every feature are free, and always will be. There is no paywall, no content unlocked by purchase, and no advertising. The in-app support options are an optional way to support the developer; they unlock nothing. Support goes to the developer (the operating company), not to any religious organization.
