Anki is a blank deck. WaniKani is a fixed curriculum. KanjiKatch is yours.

Questions

Honest answers.

Do I have to type readings and meanings?

Never. Handwritten notes, a textbook spread, a news screenshot, a manga panel — if it has Japanese on it, KanjiKatch pulls every kanji, word, and sentence with readings and meanings filled in. Rough handwriting included. Edit anything that's not quite right in one tap.

How does it compete with WaniKani or Anki?

It doesn't try to. WaniKani is a great curriculum if you want one chosen for you. Anki is a great empty deck. KanjiKatch is the one that matches the page you're reading right now — and keeps generating new reading from the words you've already learned.

What level do I need to be?

Anywhere from your first kanji to N1. KanjiKatch doesn't pick a curriculum for you — your materials do. Beginners get the most out of textbook pages; advanced learners feed in novels, news articles, and screenshots from anything they're already reading.

What does it cost?
