Read Japanese without the constant stop-and-check.
Furigator adds furigana and translations to any Japanese text — manga, menus, news, novels — instantly, right on your device.
One purchase. iPhone, iPad & Mac.
Built for how you actually read.
Most tools make you look up one character at a time. Furigator handles full passages in context, exactly the way you read.
Instant Furigana
Read full texts with Furigana above, Romaji below, and full translations underneath every line. Tap Kanjis to dive even deeper.
Translations in context
Natural translations powered by Apple’s on-device Translation framework. Download your language once and work completely offline.
Live Photo OCR
Point your camera at a menu, manga panel, or book page. Furigator extracts the text and adds readings or translations immediately.
Safari Web Extension
Read news sites, blogs, and social media directly in Safari—one click adds furigana across the entire page.
Reading History & Private Sync
Every passage you analyze is saved locally and syncs securely across your devices via iCloud. Revisit past reads, search text, or favorite tricky kanji for review.
Customizable Experience
Tailor the reader to your preference: adjust furigana size, toggle romaji, switch between serif or sans fonts, and customize kanji tap actions.
Paste anything. Read everything.
From a single sentence to an entire chapter — Furigator formats your text and adds clear pronunciation guides and translations instantly.
Paste from your clipboard, share from another app, or type straight in. Furigator takes care of the rest without breaking up your flow.
