Furigana Anywhere

iPhone / Références

Going on a trip to Japan? Singing Japanese music but keep stuttering on Kanji? Furigana Anywhere is an app that will provide Furigana for any Japanese phrases containing Kanji you may encounter using camera recognition!
If possible, the furigana is displayed in かな (Kana), but some texts with extra nuances in their pronunciation may be displayed in Romaji.
To pause the camera feed, simply tap anywhere on the screen and the entire app will freeze temporarily. You can read it, take a screenshot, and then to resume it, tap the screen again.
The app loads instantly (0.1sec when tested), so it can meet all of your needs instantaneously, without causing any social anxiety.
The app also ignores phrases that don't contain Kanji so your screen is less cluttered.
Just pack this smartphone app on your next trip to Japan instead of buying a Kanji dictionary!


You must grant camera permissions to this app or it won't work. When you open the app for the first time, a prompt will appear requesting these permissions.

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

Added a new feature that lets you scan text on your screen for furigana. Simply tap and hold on the text you want to pronounce and then click "Share", then click "Furigana Anywhere". A box should pop up containing the furigana for the text you selected. You can read and copy the furigana, then close the box and continue as normal. The rest of the app (which uses your camera to scan Japanese kanji for furigana when opened) continues to function normally and independently from this new feature.
