Speech bubbles are detected and translated in place, right over the page, so the art and panel flow stay intact.
- 02
Learn, not just translate
Tap any bubble to see the original text, furigana readings, and each word with its meaning and grammar, at the level you choose.
- 03
Keep what you learn
Save new words straight from the page into a review deck, with the panel they came from as context.
