DokiDokiDict app

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.

Furigana Overlays

See furigana readings above every word, in a VN, game, or anywhere. Trigger manually or let it update continuously. Skips words you already know from Anki.

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.

Multiple Dictionaries

Import any Yomichan dictionary and stack them in any order. Switch between dictionary profiles with a hotkey.

Anki Integration

Press E to export. Word, reading, definition, and the sentence you're reading.

Optimized for Speed

Optimized speed for lookups, furigana, and definition ranking to let you focus on your reading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it free?

Yes, completely free.

Does it need internet?

Only for AI definition ranking (Gemini API). Dictionary lookups, OCR, and MeCab furigana all work offline.

Is the Gemini API free?

Yes. New Google Cloud accounts get $300 in free credits, which gives you higher rate limits. You can also get a free key from Google AI Studio with lower rate limits. See the guide for setup steps.

What games and VNs does it work with?

All of them. DokiDokiDict uses OCR, so it works with any game or VN regardless of engine. Exclusive fullscreen titles work too via the Magpie compatibility setting, like Tsukihime or Fate/stay night.
