Read the Japanese you meet, one word at a time.

Paste a message, a sentence from a book or a line you want to understand. Naninani adds furigana, readings and word meanings, with explanations for the sounds and grammar in your text. Analysis updates when you pause typing or paste.

UNDERSTAND EACH WORD
Open a word for its meaning, dictionary form, kanji, sound breakdown and available example sentences. Tap marked sounds to learn how combinations such as き + ゃ become きゃ. Show romaji when it helps, or switch it off.

BUILD YOUR KANA READING
Explore hiragana and katakana tables, voiced sounds, combinations and timing rules. Choose the sounds you know and read built-in phrases using only those sounds. Practise with short reading, listening and similar-shape quizzes, with original memory hints and progress saved on your iPhone.

EXPLORE KANJI BY LEVEL
Browse Japanese school grades or unofficial JLPT N5–N1 study groups. Search within a group by character, reading or meaning. Open a kanji to hear its readings, show romaji and save it for review. JLPT groupings are study guides, not official exam lists.

HEAR WORDS AND EVERYDAY PHRASES
Browse searchable expressions, conversations, idioms and proverbs. Word-by-word playback is the default and uses bundled recordings where available. It chooses one recorded voice for a passage, preferring Clear when that covers more words; missing words use device speech. Natural playback uses a full recording when available and device speech otherwise. New recordings are not generated for arbitrary pasted sentences.

SAVE A LINE AND RETURN TO IT
Save your own readings in Phrases > Saved and find them by text, reading or meaning. A line opened from the phrase library can take you back to its original conversation. Save words and kanji for scheduled review, and choose furigana for all kanji, only those outside your saved collection, or none.

REHEARSE A CONVERSATION
In Story practice, choose a café role, listen, repeat and pick your route. Use an optional rehearsal timer at your pace. This is self-guided practice: Naninani does not record your microphone or score pronunciation.

LOOK UP A WORD YOUR WAY
Search the dictionary in Japanese, romaji or English. Inflected forms can lead you back to the dictionary form.

READ ON YOUR DEVICE
Text analysis, dictionaries, study data, games and bundled recordings work offline. No account, advertising or tracking is built into the app. Your last reading is restored after relaunch; Clear removes the draft. Saved study data stays local, subject to your device backup settings.

On iOS 17.4 and later, Translate opens Apple's system translation interface. Language availability, downloads and processing are managed by Apple. External links and optional Apple services may require a connection.

Naninani is built on Yomu and credits JMdict, JMnedict, KANJIDIC, Tatoeba, Jonathan Waller and other sources in More > About. Names and ambiguous Japanese can have more than one reading; dictionary meanings are not a full contextual translation.

English interface. Requires iOS 17 or later.
