Japanese 日本語

What Traxlate does for Japanese

Text, documents, PDF

Yes — to and from every other language, on your device

Script and direction

Japanese, left to right

Read from a picture or the camera

Yes — the recognizer has language data for it (a one-time 1–5 MB download)

Spoken aloud by an on-device voice

Yes — part of a 198 MB multilingual voice pack, downloaded once — used by Dub and by the read-aloud button

Formal / informal address checked

Not yet — this language does not mark it, or the check does not cover it yet

Language-specific checks

Yes — one of the 18 languages the council’s negation, quantity and meaning tables were built for

Measured quality

COMET 89.9 — from English, 200 standard test sentences, the full council — a measured number, not a claim

How it works, in one paragraph

You type, paste, dictate or drop a file; the text is split into sentences and each one is drafted by the on-device engine, checked by the guards (a lost negation, a changed number, a missing name), and, where the checker is not satisfied, redrafted. The status line says which step it is on. Nothing is sent to a server — not for a hard sentence, not for a rare word. The privacy page of the guide spells out what that means.
