## What is Joker?

Your friends are now your Japanese tutors. They just don't know it yet.

Joker is a messaging app that turns everyday chats into Japanese lessons. Your friends text in English, or in their own language, and you read every message in natural, casual Japanese with furigana. They don't need to learn anything. To them, Joker is just a messaging app.

LEARN FROM REAL CONVERSATIONS
• Every message arrives in Japanese, with readings over the kanji
• Tap any word to see it broken down: its dictionary form, each conjugation step, and what it means
• Write in any language and Joker sends it in Japanese

SAVE WORDS AND REVIEW THEM
• Save any word in one tap, with the sentence you found it in
• Review with a spaced repetition deck built for Japanese: the word on the front, the sentence, translation and meaning on the back
• Send words straight to Anki on your computer with AnkiConnect, or export your decks as Anki packages
• Import your existing Anki decks

READ YOUR OWN DOCUMENTS
• Open PDF, EPUB and TXT files, including Aozora Bunko texts
• Tap a word on the page to see its breakdown as sticky notes, right where it is
• Every word you look up is kept as a highlight, ready to save as a card

PASS THE JLPT
• Set your level (N5 to N1) and exam date, and count down the days
• After the exam, enter your scores and see whether you passed each section
• Share your result card with the friends who helped you get there

ALSO
• Scan Japanese text with your camera
• Hear words and sentences read aloud
• Track your reviews in Stats
