Features for reading Japanese websites in romaji
Read in Romaji is built for people who want reading support without turning every page into a translation exercise.
Core reading experience
Everything you need to start reading Japanese comfortably.
Inline romaji
Romaji is placed directly above each Japanese word — right where you need it, no clicking required. Works on kanji, hiragana, and katakana.
One-click toggle
Click the toolbar icon to turn romaji on or off. Challenge yourself to read without support — enable it again the moment you need it back.
