## What is KanjiLens · Japanese OCR?

Read any Japanese text with confidence. KanjiLens detects kanji on the fly through your camera or photos and shows the hiragana reading (furigana) right beside it — so you never have to stop and look up an unfamiliar character.

KEY FEATURES
• Real-time camera OCR — point at signs, menus, books or manga and see furigana appear as you move
• Photo library scan — pick any image; detected words are highlighted right on the photo
• Every reading captured — when a kanji has multiple readings, all of them are collected for you
• Favorites wordbook — tap once to save a word, later browse your collection sorted by most recent
• On-device processing — your camera frames and photos never leave your iPhone
• Trilingual interface — English, Japanese, and Korean

Built for JLPT learners, travelers exploring Japan, and anyone who has ever wished they could just point and read.

Download KanjiLens and start reading Japanese, one kanji at a time.
