We are thrilled to announce the official release of Kanjiverse, a free app designed to modernize the way you learn Japanese. After rigorous beta testing and invaluable feedback from our early users, we’re finally ready to bring Kanjiverse to the world—starting with Japan and Asia Pacific, then gradually expanding to more countries across the globe.
In Kanjiverse, all kanji are annotated with a word (or short phrase) everywhere they appear, in the kanji grid, chip tags, Glyph Graph, Formula cards, etc. Those keywords are here to help you quickly identify the sense of a kanji and discriminate between similar looking characters. Read on to find out more about the methodology used to select those keywords.
The main change in Kanjiverse Beta 0.7.7 is that all copyrighted keywords from RTK (Remembering The Kanji) have been replaced with new cherry picked keywords from public sources, based on their etymology or most common usage in Japanese.
You can now access Kanjiverse in your browser for a desktop-like experience. Try it for yourself with the link below or keep reading to learn more about the differences with the mobile app and some FAQ.
