Romaji: Japanese Readings

See how Japanese is read. Paste a name, a sentence, or a whole passage into Romaji to see its reading in Latin letters. Add furigana to show kana above the Japanese. Romaji helps you read the words—it doesn’t translate their meaning. READ YOUR WAY Show romaji, furigana, or both. Choose macrons for long vowels, like Tōkyō, or keyboard-style spelling, like Toukyou. TAKE A CLOSER LOOK Tap Japanese text or its romaji to inspect a word. Copy its reading, or copy and share the whole passage. Choose how Japanese and romaji are arranged when you copy. COME BACK TO IT Recent readings are saved in your history. Open them again whenever you need them, or swipe to remove individual items.
