Coming to Windows in late 2026

Stop typing kanji into a dictionary.

With your manga page open, press the hotkey. Hover over any speech bubbles to see the definition, and add to your Anki deck.

The plan

Late 2026
Windows In development
The first release.
Next
Android Planned
A floating button reads whatever app you have open.
Then
macOS and Linux Planned
The same hotkey reader as on Windows.
After that
iPhone and iPad Planned
iOS doesn't let apps read other apps' screens, so YomiKei will read manga inside its own reader and from shared screenshots.
