Jisho AI: Japanese Dictionary

Jisho AI is a Japanese–English dictionary that lives on your phone, with an AI tutor for the questions a dictionary can't answer.

◆ Search the way you think
Type romaji, kana, kanji or English and get instant results. The dictionary is stored on your device, so search works without a connection, and you don't need a Japanese keyboard.

◆ Every word, broken down
Readings with furigana, meanings, part of speech, pitch accent where available, inflection breakdowns and example sentences. Tap to hear the word pronounced.

◆ Kanji details
Meanings, On and Kun readings and stroke order for the kanji in every word.

◆ Scan Japanese text
Point the camera at a sign, a menu or a page, or pick a photo, and look up what you see. Text recognition runs on your device.

◆ Ask the AI tutor
Ask why, not just what: when to use ありがとう or ありがとうございます, how two similar words differ, what makes a phrase polite. On devices with Apple Intelligence the tutor runs on your device for free. Premium adds a cloud tutor that works on any device.

◆ Daily News
Read a new Japanese news article every day and tap any word to look it up. Premium adds narration with word-by-word highlighting.

◆ JLPT reading practice (Premium)
Generate reading passages at your level, N5 to N1, or from the words you've looked up, then check your understanding with a short quiz.

◆ Siri and WaniKani
Ask Siri to look up a word without opening the app. Connect your WaniKani account to bring it into your searches.

◆ History
Every word you open is saved to your history automatically.

PRIVACY
Dictionary search, word details and text scanning run on your device. Cloud features (Premium AI and narration) and WaniKani send only what each request needs to their service.
