I really like the photo recognition capability. I use it a lot when reading Japanese Manga.

And this is not helpful at all, im sorry. Maybe if I knew some Japanese it would be useful. If you're trying to use this app to help you get around (and like me, know NONE), you have a better chance of taking a Japanese class for a year and then traveling to Japan ??.

I use this app daily, and I love it. My only problems with it are the camera reader and it not being

Essential for serious Japanese learners

It's academic veteran

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.

Bad reviews are misguided

Super banana it's cool

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.

Great support from an educational app

Inquisitive iPad

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!

Problem solved!

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!

Amazing kanji scan recognition

serene and impatient

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.
