About gengo.app

gengo.app is a manga and light novel reader with an integrated OCR Dictionary and tools, designed for effective Japanese learning. It helps users read their favorite manga and light novels with the help of an OCR Dictionary and other language learning tools. The project drew strong inspiration from AJATT and other immersive language learning methods, as well as the 'Kaku' android app, which lacked a solid cross-platform alternative.

How to Use

Users can import image files (png, jpg), individual images, a whole folder, or a ZIP file containing images to read manga and light novels. The integrated OCR dictionary and tools then assist in learning Japanese.
