FuriLens

FuriLens is an intelligent Japanese reading assistant that overlays instant furigana (phonetic readings) above kanji to make reading smoother and more efficient. By showing pronunciations in real time while you read news, novels, blogs or any Japanese text, FuriLens reduces interruptions spent looking up words and helps you maintain reading flow. It’s designed for learners who want to improve reading speed, comprehension and pronunciation simultaneously, and for anyone who prefers a less distracting way to approach Japanese material without switching between apps or breaking concentration.
