Kanji: Japanese Translator

Menus and signs, even by hand

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Point your camera at a Japanese menu, sign or label: kanji reads it and explains it in your language, line by line, prices included. Handwritten menus are where other translators give up. Chalkboards, daily specials, paper signs taped to a window: kanji was built for exactly those. WHAT YOU GET - Every text on the photo is numbered and translated where it stands - Tap the photo to see the translations sitting over the original kanji - Ask the travel assistant anything: dishes, prices, how to order, what to say - Questions in Japanese to hand to the staff, with tap-to-answer options - A community feed of what other travellers translated near you - Works on menus, signs, notices, labels, price tags, tickets HONEST BY DESIGN Translations are marked when uncertain instead of being invented, and the app tells you what it is doing while it reads. PRIVACY Photos published to the feed show at most the venue or area name, never your exact position. Free, no ads. Servers in Europe, GDPR. kanji is a service by glacom (glacom.AI). It can make mistakes: check important information, like allergens, with the staff.
