Furigana Online Turns Japanese Text Into Reading Practice

furigana.online Observed source

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based tool that adds furigana to Japanese text or images, then plays sentences aloud for shadowing practice.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The workspace accepts pasted Japanese or image files, with PNG, JPG, and WebP inputs capped at 12 MB. Its reading view places kana above kanji, while the separate shadowing flow breaks passages into sentences for playback and repetition, using voices available on the device. The page labels image recognition as local OCR and says processing occurs in the browser rather than uploading study material to the service.
