Description

A Japanese text conversion tool that converts Kanji characters to Hiragana, Katakana or Romaji. It is useful in language processing, indexing, study tools and scripts that need alternate Japanese readings.

Use it for text transformation, not translation of meaning. Japanese readings can depend on context, so automated output may need human review.
