What is Yomitai?
Yomitai is a Japanese reading assistant that extracts text from images such as manga, e‑books, screenshots, and photographs using OCR. The tool allows users to point and click on any word, triggering a pop‑up dictionary that displays reading and meaning instantly.
Color coding and sticky‑note annotations highlight unfamiliar kanji and vocabulary, enabling quick reference on subsequent passes. By removing the need to pause for separate lookup tools, Yomitai streamlines the reading flow while preserving the natural learning experience.
It is designed for learners of Japanese who practice immersion through native‑language content, supporting kanji recognition and sentence‑structure comprehension. The interface operates locally; images remain on the device without external storage or data transmission.
