About Japanese Hover Reader: Translate Any Site, YouTube & Netflix
Read Japanese anywhere on the web: news, blogs, social media, and the subtitles of the shows you watch.
Point at a sentence on any page: the word under your mouse shows its reading, JLPT level and meaning, and the whole sentence is translated. On YouTube or Netflix, turn on Japanese captions and point at a line the same way. Its translation also appears in a bar under the video, so you can keep watching.
• Works on any website: news, blogs, social media, web novels
• Works on YouTube, Netflix, and any video with Japanese subtitles
• Furigana and the JLPT level of the word you point at
• Click a word to open its full page: example sentences, audio and more
• Reading practice: the subtitle translation stays blurred until you point at it, and the sentence translation and furigana can be hidden
• Pause the video while you read a line
• Translation runs on your computer with Chrome's built-in translator: nothing you read is sent anywhere
• Free, no account, no ads
Needs Chrome 138 or later on a computer.
