Three switches. That's every setting there is.
Every word you save lands in that show's deck, ready on your laptop or your phone's browser.

It reads the whole scene, not the word.

We hand it the line and the lines around it, so it gets politeness, slang and stacked conjugations right.

Hange flying in among the Colossal Titans through pink steam

It tells you who actually talks like that.

Slang, dialect, or something nobody says outside a fight. Each card says so, and what people say instead.

It brings its own subtitles.

No Japanese track on the show? It finds one written by people in Japan and drops it into the player.

Much better than bare hands.

Solo dev Endeavor.

I learned English by watching films and shows with English subtitles, and I wanted to learn Japanese the same way. The kanji stopped me, so I added romaji. Then a translation. Then an explanation for every word, a way to save it, and a deck on my phone. And here we are.

I'm still learning Japanese, so I'm one of Junie's users too. I'd be glad if you gave it a try and told me what you think. There's still a lot to do.
