Furigana Notepad

Furigana Notepad is a notepad that lets you give any word in your notes the reading (furigana / ruby text) you like, and keeps it. Creative readings such as 約束《ちかい》, or readings for kanji you cannot read yet: you decide. Built for novel and script drafts, dialogue readings, and Japanese study. Select text and add a reading. Register readings you use often in a dictionary, and they appear automatically from then on. Assign a dictionary per folder to switch readings by project or by textbook. ■ Manual ruby Select any range of text and give that one spot its own reading — useful when the same kanji is read differently depending on context, such as a character's line in a novel. You can register it to the dictionary from the same dialog. ■ Automatic furigana Register a word and its reading, and matching text in your notes gets ruby text automatically. Assign a dictionary per folder to keep multiple stories or study sets separate. Reorder a folder's dictionaries to set their priority; when the same word is in more than one, the reading from the higher one is used. Words in the Shared Dictionary apply to every memo regardless of folder settings. ■ Live ruby preview while editing Split the editor into two panes. The lower pane shows your text with ruby applied as you type, so you can check the result without switching to view mode. ■ Select and copy in view mode Select the body text and copy it as plain text. When you want ruby text included, use the novel-site notation export instead. ■ Novel-site ruby notation export Supports four formats: Narou-style (|kanji《ruby》), pixiv, Alphapolis, and HTML. Converts your text so it can be pasted straight into novel submission sites. ■ Import from novel-site notation Paste text written in Narou-style, pixiv, Alphapolis, or HTML ruby notation, and it becomes a note with ruby text applied. The format is detected automatically, and the readings it contains can be registered to a dictionary in one go. ■ PDF export with furigana Create a PDF with ruby text, choosing vertical or horizontal writing, paper size (A4 / B5), typeface (Mincho / Gothic), font size, characters per line, line spacing, and margins. Share, save, or print it (Premium feature). ■ Note management Full-text search, pinning, a trash (auto-deletes after 30 days, with undo), and autosave are all built in. Folders can be nested without limit, sorted by name or update time, and moved by dragging. ■ Your data and Premium No account required. Memos are stored on your device and never uploaded to our servers (OS backups follow your device settings). The free version shows ads. Watch a video for 24 hours ad-free, or buy Premium once for permanent ad-free use and PDF export. See the privacy policy for how ads and crash reporting handle data. Whether you're writing a novel or studying Japanese, the readings are yours to decide. Service names mentioned are trademarks of their respective owners.
