Japanese Dictionary - Nihongo

Nihongo is an offline Japanese dictionary, picture-to-text translator, flashcard app, and reading assistant.

Our app helps you learn Japanese naturally, using the words you encounter in daily life—on menus, signs, manga, emails, books, and more. In addition to the dictionary, you can take a picture of Japanese text or paste it from any source. Nihongo will then translate the text, add furigana or romaji, and create flashcards so you can study and steadily build your vocabulary.
