Read anything. Look up everything.
Works Everywhere
Any game, any VN, any manga or book. If there's Japanese text on your screen, DokiDokiDict can read it. No text hooker required.
Instant Furigana & Pitch Accent
See readings above every word instantly. MeCab furigana appears in milliseconds, fully offline. As you learn words, their furigana disappears, the scaffolding comes off on its own. Trigger once or let it update continuously.
You can also enable pitch accent coloring. High pitch morae show red, low pitch blue. Works on the overlay, on SRS cards, and in Anki exports.
Anki Integration
Press E to export. Word, reading, definition, the sentence you're reading with furigana, a screenshot, and pitch accent, all in one keypress. Field mapping is fully configurable, works with any Anki note type.
AI Definition Ranking
A word like 掛ける can have dozens of meanings. Gemini reads what you're reading and puts the right one on top.
Built-in SRS
Built-in spaced repetition. Review cards in a dedicated tab, or optionally have them appear at natural pauses while you read, no switching apps and no breaking flow. Optionally, words you've seen more than a set number of times get added automatically. With test-before-add mode, the app quizzes you on auto-added words a few pages later, only words you actually retained make it into your deck. Works standalone, Anki not required.
Multiple Dictionaries
Import any Yomichan dictionary. Stack them, reorder them, switch between profiles with a hotkey. Lock a popup and look up words inside the definition, essential for the monolingual transition.
Word Tracking, Recall & i+1 Sentence Detection
Optionally, color-underlines every word directly on screen by status: mature Anki card, in your deck, seen N+ times (you set the threshold), or unknown. Know what to look up at a glance. Sentences with exactly one unknown word can be highlighted as i+1. Optionally, looking up a word you should already know hides the definition, you recall it first. A successful recall cements it deeper than reading the English ever would.
Stats
See exactly where you are. How many of the top N most common kanji you've seen and how many you've seen M+ times. How many of the top N most common VN words you've seen and how many you've seen M+ times. All thresholds configurable. Kanji grids color-coded by frequency, vocabulary sorted by encounter count, volume of pages read.
There's also an Advanced Stats tab. Stack your own graphs: characters per day, lookups per page, kanji coverage over weeks, SRS retention, reading speed. 25 presets to start from, with custom panel configuration.
Achievements & Reading Streaks
Set a daily page goal, starting as low as one. Each week you complete, the app suggests raising it, from 1 page a day up to 50, building up reading endurance and reading speed. Miss a day without losing your streak. The goal is to take you to 10,000 pages eventually, which is fluency.
139 milestones across reading volume, vocabulary, kanji, and VN word frequency. The finals: 30,000 pages read, 10,000 words retained, all 2,136 Jouyou kanji mastered, top 10,000 VN words mastered, 100 pages a day for a month.
