Point your camera at any Japanese text — signs, menus, manga — and watch furigana appear instantly. Tap once to save tricky words to your wordbook.
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.
