日本語 → romaji

How it works. Hiragana and katakana are converted directly. Common kanji words from this app's vocabulary (約 100 words: 駅, 寿司, 渋谷, 待って…) are looked up. Unknown kanji stay highlighted in red — copy them into Google Translate or jisho.org for unknowns.

Tip: in かな mode on your JIS keyboard, every key types a kana directly — type into the box above and instantly see the pronunciation.
