Hi!
I’ve been working on a software that helps you read foreign languages more easily, and I used it to learn Japanese for over 2 years.
Here is a complete [overview](https://simjanos-dev.github.io/LinguaCafeHome/) of LinguaCafe and a [github](https://github.com/simjanos-dev/LinguaCafe). It is completely free and open source.
It runs as a server on your computer, and you need technical skills to install it.
Hope it helps someone learn Japanese.
I made this Anki [add-on](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1317828804?cb=1711130317086) to let you batch-download images, sentence audio, etc. from [immersion kit](https://www.immersionkit.com), and add them directly to your Anki cards.
I think this can be useful to create anime decks easily or turn your bad cards into anime cards.
**Manabi Reader** – iOS and macOS native app for learning Japanese through reading
As featured by Tofugu:
>*Overall,* ***a solid app that we recommend*** *for reading sentences that aren’t drab and contextless—especially if you’re more motivated when reading about something you’re personally interested in.*
* EPUB, web browser, RSS feeds, spoken audio. Tap words to look them up and translate sentences.
* Tracks every word and kanji you read and learn. Charts your progress page-by-page and per JLPT level. See what vocab and kanji you need to know to read every webpage, chapter or ebook.
* Anki or built-in flashcards with SRS (FSRS soon). Makes sentence mining easy. Includes links back to the source of each sentence in your flashcards.
* Privacy obsessed: works like a web browser with processing and storage on-device (and in your personal iCloud)
I quit my job to work on this so expect a lot more soon, such as YouTube with clickable transcripts, MPV-based movie player, etc.
I’m also going to launch Nintendo emulator support (GB/GBC/GBA) for playing Japanese games and getting realtime OCR transcripts you can look up as you play.
