Read print Japanese better than ever before.
The Japan Reader app was created to help people who wish to improve their Japanese reading proficiency or who are simply trying to navigate life in Japan. The app attempts to assist readers with information only as they need it, helping to learn new vocabulary and improve reading speed.
Import images of a newspaper, magazine, textbook, or other print media. You can use a smartphone camera or scanner to make the images. Once they are in your device, add them to the Japan Reader library and you’re ready to read.
