No more stopping for Kanji.

Furigana adds hiragana readings above kanji, so you can keep reading Japanese text without stopping to look up every word.

Anything you want to bring into the Furigana reader—from articles and study materials to the Japanese text you come across while studying or browsing the web. Aoso, our content library, currently in the works, will let you explore learner-focused reading material curated by Furigana. We're preparing everything from free-licensed Japanese texts to original content created and reviewed by Japanese creators, so stay tuned.

Select Japanese text on a webpage and send it directly to your Furigana reader. While the furigana is being generated, keep browsing without breaking your flow. The browser extension is currently in the works and will be available soon. Stay tuned—we're excited to bring it to you.

Rather than assigning each kanji a fixed, dictionary-based reading, the Furigana reader is designed to determine the reading that fits the context of the sentence. That said, given the limits of natural language processing, uncommon names or highly specialized expressions may occasionally need extra care. We're continuously improving our system to deliver faster, more accurate furigana and make your reading experience even smoother.

No. Text you submit to your reader is stored as reading material for you alone, and isn't published for other users to browse. Furigana takes privacy, data security, and copyright seriously.
