Himotoki

Hover Japanese text to see what it means, and save words to Himotoki.

Read Japanese anywhere on the web. Rest your pointer on a word and Himotoki shows what it means: the reading, the meanings, the dictionary form of a conjugated verb, and the kanji it's written with. LOOK UP WORDS ON ANY PAGE • Hover over Japanese text, or hold Shift if you prefer, and a card shows the word. • Highlight a sentence and Himotoki breaks it down word by word, with furigana over the kanji. Hover any word in it to see its card. • Right-click selected text to look it up in the side panel. • Turn lookups on or off with Alt+Shift+H, from the right-click menu, or in Settings. YOUTUBE SUBTITLES On YouTube videos with Japanese captions, Himotoki shows the subtitles word by word, with furigana and a card for every word. A transcript of the video sits in the side panel. PDFS, SCANS AND IMAGES • Open PDFs in Himotoki's PDF reader and look up words just as you would on a web page. • Scanned pages are read with text recognition that runs on your computer. Your files and pictures never leave the device. • Right-click any page and choose "Read Japanese in an area" to read text inside a picture, a video frame or a title. SAVE WORDS AND STUDY THEM • Save, like and file words into folders straight from the card. • Sign in with your Himotoki account and your words are synced across your devices. Review them as flashcards in the Himotoki app or on himotoki.web.app. • The side panel lists your saved and liked words with the pages you found them on, and lets you search the whole dictionary. • Not signed in? Save still works: it opens Himotoki's website so you can add the word there. LISTEN Every word and sentence has a speaker button that reads it aloud with your computer's Japanese voice. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Meanings come in English and in many other languages, including Spanish, French, German, Russian, Portuguese and Indonesian. When no dictionary has a word in your language, Chrome's built-in translator can translate it on your device, clearly marked and with the English kept beside it. The extension itself is available in 17 languages. PRIVACY The words you look up are sent to Himotoki's dictionary to find their meanings. Text recognition and machine translation run on your device. Your saved words are stored in your Himotoki account only if you sign in. Privacy policy: https://himotoki.web.app/privacy
