Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about reading handwritten Japanese.
Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana — All Read Together
Japanese writing weaves three scripts into one sentence: kanji for meaning, hiragana for grammar, katakana for loanwords. This OCR reads them together as you wrote them by hand — distinguishing similar kana and multi-stroke kanji — and returns faithful Japanese text you can edit and reuse.
