Read Japanese you actually care about.

Walkthrough

One chapter, start to finish.

A walkthrough of the Reader: paste Japanese text into a chapter, read it with furigana, look up words, write your own translations, get scored feedback from Kana, ask follow-up questions, and track your progress through the chapter.

In every chapter

Everything a reading session needs.

01Bring any text

Read what you choose

Paste a story, an article, or song lyrics and it is split into passages you can work through one at a time.

02Furigana

Readings on demand

Show readings above every kanji, or turn them off when you want to test yourself.

03Look up

Instant word lookups

Hover a word to see its reading, meanings, and JLPT level, then save it to a quiz list.

04Translate

Line by line

Write each passage in your own words instead of reading someone else's translation.

05Feedback

A tutor for every line

Kana scores every translation, explains what worked, and suggests natural alternatives. Ask follow-up questions about any passage.

06Progress

Watch it come together

Each finished passage fills in your chapter, and you can jump straight to the next one that still needs work.
