Yomiwa is designed to help people read Japanese in their everyday life or during travelling. It displays a pop-up with English translations of single kanjis and words as soon as you are pointing to Japanese ...
Updating Probably in reasonable of me to expect a general purpose translation program to properly translate specialized martial arts terminology I do not need a common conversational menu translator I need to translate specific martial arts and spiritual texts About the only thing if gets right is left and right Have to figure out how to get my back             Does not do what I need it to Pcooke2002

This app is getting 90 of what I m shooting which for me includes hand brushed kanji from maps made hundreds of years ago Pros you can easily set the scan zone you can freeze the image app puts its reading of the kanji next to the image and highlights what it is identifying so you can tell if it s seeing the image correctly app offers multiple meanings of kanji essential and variant versions app will isolate several kanji in scan area and you can scroll from one to the next you can copy kanji to your clipboard which I use to translate from Chinese to get possible alternative meanings or more literal translations Kanji will vary because of the brush variances and the artistry of the calligrapher so this won t be perfect But my learning the kanji is now much more empowered                     Amazing kanji scan recognition serene and impatient
I now happily give this app 5 stars I used this app a lot when I studied abroad in Japan and I still frequently use it whenever messaging my friends or while I am learning the language Thank you developers for quickly fixing this app                     Problem solved Lizy292 🙈🙉🙊
I am still finding more ways to use Yomiwa and it has proven useful to more quickly decode Kanji when I don t have time to look them up Recently the app suffered a quirky error following an update Reaching out over a weekend I very quickly received a reply from the developer and worked out a solution Great support                     Great support from an educational app Inquisitive iPad
I d like to preface this review by saying yomiwa is an excellent app for its intended purpose I am a high school student and use the app for studying the photo recognition works great and the app provides a lot of sample sentence to go along with the vocab which I find incredibly helpful Again The photo recognition works well focused in on a sheet of paper or on a wall not outside on a street sign If you don t speak Japanese or read it and want to be able to get around you re better off with a travel dictionary or something However as far as research purposes go this app works great and easily worth the money in exchange for the added convenience                     Bad reviews are misguided Super banana it's cool
This app does an amazing job of Kanji recognition even for names It is essential for serious study I am using it to read online newspapers and a paperback novel My reading skill has greatly improved The way to use this app is to do a screen capture to your photo roll or use Camera with image stabilization turned on and then read in the photo The live camera is too jittery The ocr window generally needs to be adjusted to be narrower and the zoom increased somewhat in order to get the best accuracy The developer Vivien is extremely responsive to feedback and provides bug fixes                     Essential for serious Japanese learners It's academic veteran
I use this app daily and I love it My only problems with it are the camera reader and it not being                     polygons123
Works great enough to justify the price                 Quick and easy
Just what I need for those times were in Japan                 Great app
This app is great I have a Mitsubishi tractor that has Japanese writing and I was able to decipher 95 of it The draw feature is great You just draw the symbols and it will convert it for you The only thing I would add is a partial eraser so if you mess up a little you can just erase that part Great app Would recommend for sure                 Awesome app
Ive tested this app out on various documents signs posters etc and it is rarely ever able to recognize the characters Occasionally it might produce the correct character but you have to hold impossibly still or it disappears the next instant Even using the freeze frame feature the app cant recognize most kanji The option to input characters through handwriting also rarely returns what youre looking for Its a great app conceptually but unfortunately does not actually work well Maybe things will be fixed with updates but right now I say its not worth the money I paid for it     Great concept poor execution
This app makes my life so much easier when Im traveling in Japan Best app of its kind                 Really cool app
There are not many apps that do what I need There have been times where I need to quickly look up some words in a textbook and this app has saved me It doesnt detect everything though              Decent
So good works perfectly                 Great
I have passed JLPT N2 level and find this application very useful and time saving Especially when reading paper books where there is still a lot of new vocabulary It saves time from going to the dictionary every time It works best when you can get a clear shot of the image and it is in focus Even in moving trains can be used by focusing by tapping and freezing the image Good recognition algorithm A must have for every Japanese learner                 A must have for all Japanese learning people
I havent been able to use this app it always crashes on startup Please fix     Crashes
This app is genius The idea is anyway And sometimes it worksand those are beautiful moments Often though it doesnt recognize words instead choosing to focus only on a single character before flipping violently away from the character like an injured porpoise But again for all that this is still an insanely useful app Mr or Ms developer please keep improving this app when it really works every time it will be the best app on the app store for Japanese learners Dont give up           Simultaneously the best and worst app ever
Very useful and quite robust to handwriting                 Very nice
It can translate singular characters but bought this hoping for entire sentence translation           Its good
I do not need a common conversational menu translator I need to translate specific martial arts and spiritual texts About the only thing if gets right is left and right Have to figure out how to get my back        Does not do what I need it to
Ive use other camera translation apps for Japanese and this one is the best so far Identifies with Japanese characters and provides a definition                 Im impressed
That translate Japanese advertisement in newspapers into English This might be handy for school teachers visit Japan looking for simple meaning for a very vague or round about meaning to whats being served at a business Sadly one cant add to the dictionary To create one own meaning     Where is there a OCR program
Amazingly good optical character recognition of Japanese characters I personally would like the ability to Copy Paste recognized text As that would allow some options to run found charters through other translation software Doesnt do the next step of converting thought chunks into intentwords On the other hand it does fragment out the idea bits into a conceptual stream which has some useful future Artificial Intelligence potential              Works great for some purposes
I use this app everyday when Im at the office or a store and cant read kanji on a label or in a book It works great on typeset characters but is often defeated by the handwritten or artistic modes found on ads or sake labels for example Nonetheless its made studying and surviving in Japan a lot easier Well worth the 3                 Works great
The premise is great Practiced with a picture dictionary and most things are wrong or have no entry Doesnt continue beyond a couple of characters even though they are selected Not worth what I spent at all Disappointing        Great potential fails to deliver
Wish it was cheaper if its not going to work     Isnt working for me
After using the excellent Pleco app while traveling in China I hoped to find something similar for traveling in Japan This app is new and had two positive though sparse reviews so I decided to be another guinea pig In short the app fails to be useful in the most important scenarios like reading signs and menus In two days of using it it says that the character it has identified are not found in the dictionary about 80 of the time My limited experience with the app suggests that the character recognition works well but the step of parsing those characters and matching them to dictionary entries is quite poor This is another case where I wish you could sample an app rather than be forced to buy it because I would definitely like my money back        It is not working well for me
I love the concept and inspiration behind this app but the default instant recognitiontranslation of content makes meaningful translation during travel signs product packaging tickets etc virtually impossible The problem is the app immediately tries to ID and translate isolated pictograms in Kanji haphazardly across the image out of textual context so you get random lists of possible meanings of various pictograms and have to quickly try to select just a series of characters together and hope the app translates the phrase or idea in the context of nearby characters which it sometimes does and sometimes doesnt I found myself having to take pictures first and then carefully selecting area of text and hoping for meaningful contextsensitive translation So for onthefly travel translation this app didnt really help me For identifying the dictionary meanings of a single Kanji character isolated at a time it works great though Hiragana too it seems to translate fine I applaud the authors intentions though and hope the app improves going forward           Instant Recognition Very Cumbersome
I think this app has a lot of potential It did help me a little bit but it only recognizes about half of characters Better than Japan Goggles thats for sure I hope the developer continues to improve this           Works 60
Yomiwa is just the app you need for anything Japanese restaurant vacation in Tokyo etc when i was in Tokyo I remember how hard it was to read a subway map and noone speaks english Next time i go to Tokyo which is soon i m pretty sur i wont have any trouble understanding stuff Thanks Yomiwa                 Awesomeness
I bought this app for a trip to Japan I was very disappointed with the program as it could not interpret signs or menus I took it to the Tokyo zoo and it could not translate one single sign I gave up on the app after several days Im glad I only paid 399 for this I would have been really upset if I had wasted more     Dont waste your money
Must have app for nonbeginner students of Japanese                 Excellent
No other app is this versatile in recognizing Kanji As a Japanese learner this is invaluable and incredibly helpful for reading writing and learning kanji                 The best
I really love this app but it sometimes cant recognize characters from anime show screenshots It also cant recognize names its just gives you the details for each individual kanji If these two issues where ever fixed I would happily pay 4 again and give this app a 5 star review           Good app but
