Translation isn't always the answer. Sometimes you don't need to know the meaning β€” you need to know how to read it. Imagine you're at a station and see η ”η©Άε­¦εœ’. A translator says "Tsukuba Research Park" β€” but what do you tell the taxi driver? Furiganar gives you γ‘γ‚“γγ‚…γ†γŒγγˆγ‚“ (KenkyΕ«-gakuen). The reading, not the meaning. Built for my neighbors who struggle to read Japanese every day. Living in Japan shouldn't mean being stuck at every sign, menu, or notice. Furiganar was made so anyone can read Japanese text around them β€” instantly, without studying kanji for years. **How it works** 1. Snap β€” Take a photo of any Japanese text: signs, menus, letters, anything. 2. Analyze β€” AI recognizes the text and generates accurate readings. 3. Read β€” Get hiragana and romaji readings instantly on screen. **What it does** - Photo to Reading: Take a photo or pick one from your gallery. AI reads the Japanese text for you. - Hiragana: See the hiragana reading above every kanji so you can read it out loud. - Romaji: Get romaji (alphabet) transcription for when hiragana isn't enough yet. - Instant: Results in seconds. No typing, no copy-paste, no switching apps. **Perfect for** - Japanese language learners at any level - Tourists and travelers visiting Japan - Foreign residents navigating daily life in Japan - Anyone curious about what that sign says Free to download. No account needed. Start reading Japanese today.
