# べんきょうBox (Benkyo Box): Japanese Learning Toolkit

A box of small tools for learning Japanese. Translation, dictionary, practice, study. Local-first, on iOS and macOS.

## Tools

Four tools that share a local dictionary: Translate, Dictionary, Practice, Study.

### 01 · THE BIG ONE · Translate

Paste a sentence. Speak one. Point your camera at it. Every word gets broken down, colour-matched to its translation, with the reading and the dictionary form one tap away.

_Paste · Type · Microphone · Camera_

[Open →](/translate)

### 02 · Dictionary

A real Japanese dictionary on your device. Filter by JLPT level. Tap a kanji to see what it's made of. Open the conjugation table.

_JMdict · Word lists_

[Open →](/dictionary)

### 03 · Practice

Take real audio (a podcast, a clip, a recording) and turn it into a conversation you can study, line by line.

_Audio clipper · Scripted_

[Open →](/practice)

### 04 · Study

Five-minute tools. A vocab flashcard pitched at your level. A word search to hunt through.

_Random word · Word search_

[Open →](/study)

### Pronunciation — Hear any verb, in any form, spoken aloud

Open a verb's conjugation table and tap any row. Past, negative, te-form, causative. Listen to it until it sounds right.

The app comes with offline pronunciation built in. Connect a higher-quality voice when you want one.

### Depth — See how it fits together

Every word in a sentence, named. Every part of a kanji, named. Every form of a verb, named. So studying isn't guessing.

Tap any word to open its dictionary entry. Tap a kanji to pull it apart into components.
