Read in Romaji is a browser extension that helps Japanese learners read real Japanese websites with romaji reading guides directly on the page.
Instead of translating the entire page into English, Read in Romaji keeps the original Japanese text visible and adds romaji support so learners can follow kanji, hiragana, and katakana more easily.
It is made for beginners, self-study learners, anime and manga fans, travelers, and anyone who wants to build confidence reading Japanese online.
Use it for reading:
Japanese articles and blogs
Forums and community posts
Anime, manga, and culture pages
Product pages and everyday Japanese websites
Kanji, hiragana, and katakana in real browsing situations
Read in Romaji is best for learners who do not want to rely completely on full translation. It gives you a small bridge into real Japanese reading, helping you stay on the original webpage while reducing the friction of copy-paste translation.
The goal is simple: make Japanese websites feel less intimidating, while still letting you practice with the real language.
