What It Does

よむ runs inside your browser. Tap or hover Japanese text, subtitle lines, or text inside manga images and PDFs to open a clean popup with readings, meanings, kanji, pitch, audio, examples, and save actions.

Start with lookup. Add local dictionaries, Anki, OCR, subtitles, and the study page only when they help you keep reading. On mobile, the floating よむ button stays reachable so settings and tools are never far away.
