Description

Ready to take your Japanese reading and listening comprehension to the next level? Welcome to Satori Reader.

COMPELLING STORIES
Read from a growing library of engrossing stories written by native speakers for intermediate students, across genres such as fantasy, slice-of-life, thrillers, documentaries, news, and more.

AUDIO
Tap any sentence to hear it read aloud by native voice actors (no robots!).

ADAPTIVE KANJI USAGE
Crack the chicken-and-egg problem of reading kanji with our unique presentation engine, which adjusts the Japanese text to accommodate your actual knowledge. This allows you to challenge yourself for the kanji you should know without being overwhelmed by what you don't.

SMART DEFINITIONS
Tap any word for a definition. This is more than just an automated lookup. Satori Reader shows the actual sense of each word as it's being used in the sentence. For example, the particle の has many uses: it can indicate possession; it can turn the preceding verb or phrase into a noun; it can stand in for another word; and more. We show you exactly what is happening in every instance of every word.

FRIENDLY ANNOTATIONS
Gray underlines indicate longer annotations that break down tricky expressions, provide cultural background, or help you to read between the lines. Our editors work hard to anticipate what might be confusing and proactively help you to make sense of things. Good-bye, confusion. Hello, clarity!

SPACED REPETITION SYSTEM (SRS)
The built-in spaced repetition review system helps you to build your vocabulary. Create review cards instantly as you read. Each card you create takes along a snapshot of the sentence in which you encountered the word, further helping to cement it in your memory. You can even play back the audio of that sentence while reviewing the word!

HUMAN FEEDBACK
Still confused about something? Just ask in the comment section below each article. Knowledgeable staff are ready to help.

Satori Reader is built by a team that cares. Our goal is to bring satori (enlightenment) into your Japanese reading life. Set up a free account today, and let's get started.

Incredible app to learn Japanese with

Wootau on

Concise and detailed explanations on many of the tricky grammar points and nuances.

Great framework, needs better stories

Muffincups on

Pros: custom settings for furigana display, audio version with good voice acting. Translations/definitions are available but unobtrusive. Good language acquisition tool. Cons: not enough stories to choose from, and unfortunately they are all boring. Nothing happens, it’s all background exposition or people reminiscing.

The amount of thoughtfulness and care that is put into this app is astounding. It’s wonderful, thank you to the entire team.

It’s just what I needed

Dennis in the shade on

Lots of good quality original reading content for lower-intermediate / intermediate readers. Fills a gap I haven’t found anywhere else. Favourite features are: (1) Furigana for each word is shown or hidden based on the specific kanji known by each user. This reinforces the kanji I’ve already learned without having to lookup the kanji I don’t already know. (2) Lots of helpful grammar and translation notations at the click of a button. (3) The team is incredibly responsive to customer questions and suggestions.

Great resource!

Already a big fan of Human Japanese, I am trilled with Satori Reader. LOVE the grammar series in this app, a terrific addition to my Japanese learning.

Great resource

Su_go on

After taking quite a break in learning Japanese, I’m recent months I’ve been trying to get back into it. Took a couple courses in university, so probably around an N4 level at the time? I am finding this to be a fantastic motivator to improve more - the stories are actually REALLY engaging (Not usually the case with textbook dialogues) and the built in SRS is really helping me to build my vocabulary. It’s tough going at my level, I am running into MANY unfamiliar words per chapter. But the fact that I don’t have to pause to look up these words and make my own flash cards just makes it all feel so much more engaging. Plus they are great at using the words you’ve learned again in following chapters! I really feel that seeing the words in context is a big help for understanding and retention.

Highly recommended

@Ajdc421flwv107 on

This app has been helping me greatly to transition into light novels, and the stories are really engaging (with audio too!) Even as a long-time Anki user, I also find all the built-in review tools to be very useful, and a huge time-saver! Highly recommended!!

Works perfect for me

Zhu humans on

It feels like I just hired a Japanese teacher who sits right beside me and knows exactly what I need to be explained. Everything’s very well explained. It’s fantastic! When I’m driving, I kind of hope that I could listen to a series of episodes, but it seems that I can only listen to one episode at a time right now.

One of my favourite learning tools
