Use Adaptive mode to hide furigana for words you already know. 🔍 Hover Word Lookup Hold Alt (Option on Mac) and hover over any word for an instant dictionary popup with readings, definitions, JLPT level, and pitch accent. Or enable Hover Mode for hands-free lookups. Compound words (like 東京都) are detected automatically. 🔊 Audio Pronunciation Hear any word spoken aloud — click the speaker icon or press P. Uses your device's built-in Japanese voice, no internet required. 📖 Example Sentences See real Japanese-English example sentences from Tatoeba for thousands of words, with the target word highlighted. 📚 Vocab Bank Save any word with one click. Tag and organize your vocabulary, filter by JLPT level, group by source page, and export to Anki. ✅ Known Words & Adaptive Learning Mark words as "known" to track your progress. Load JLPT presets (N5–N1) to bulk-add words. Adaptive Furigana automatically hides readings for words you know. 📊 Learning Stats See your JLPT coverage at a glance, track vocab activity over time, and view a difficulty badge showing each page's JLPT breakdown. 🗂️ English Glosses Short English annotations appear above particles and grammar patterns in furigana mode, so you never lose track of sentence structure.
