Tap any kanji for instant furigana, dictionary, and translation — read web pages and photos in Japanese with ease.
YomiStudy is a Japanese reading companion built for language learners.
Browse any Japanese website. Tap any kanji to instantly see:
• Furigana (the hiragana reading)
• Definition from the system Japanese dictionary
• On-device translation into your language
• High-quality text-to-speech (Kyoko voice)
NEW: Photo OCR
Recognize Japanese text from your camera or photo library and read it with furigana:
• Photo mode — furigana laid directly over the kanji in your image
• Reader mode — recognized text rendered as a clean Reader page with the same tap-to-translate / dictionary / save-word actions
• Save a scan and reopen it later in either Photo or Reader mode
Note: vertical (tategaki) text isn't supported — Apple Vision's vertical OCR isn't reliable enough.
Reader Mode strips ads and clutter from articles and annotates every kanji with furigana inline above the characters — perfect for long-form reading practice.
Bookmark words you want to remember. The built-in flashcard quiz with spaced-repetition scheduling helps them stick. Save articles for offline reading so you can study on the train or on a flight.
Customize your experience:
• Font size (S/M/L/XL)
• Theme: light, dark, or sepia
• Furigana display: always on or off
• Translation target language follows your iOS setting
Built entirely on Apple's on-device frameworks. No accounts, no API calls, no ads, no tracking. All your saved words, pages, and review history stay on your device.
YomiStudy is for anyone studying Japanese — JLPT N5 to N1, casual learners, or fluent readers who just want furigana now and then for unfamiliar terms.
