Best extension, if you're learning japanese in 2023 and you're not using yomichan, you're shooting yourself in the foot.

Forbes Derek 2023-07-12

Absolutely awesome. Has everything i possibly could have wanted, and works with no bugs. Anki integration saves so much time for making cards, honestly the best tool to have for studying japanese. Thanks so much to the dev for making this!

karben jpn 2023-06-28

The single thing I would change, is to add a key to close the window instead of having to click, as when watching videos it resumes the video. Thanks for making this

Adam Musa 2023-06-08

Perfect!

Sus Fish 2023-05-30

Perfect

GAME CHANGING

the holy grail of japanese learning software

hking0036 _ 2023-02-06

The single greatest force for Japanese learners on the internet, bar none. The integration with Anki turns this from a good way to help you through tough articles into a powerhouse for accelerating JP learning.

Yume Shapiro 2023-02-01

i love this and you

Shenmin Zhou 2023-01-03

Very useful for learning Japanese! Thanks for your work!

Fujitsu Tempest 2022-11-14

Thank you so much.....

Really tedious and unoptimized to use, I'd rather stick with deepl even if it isn't as detailed.

Sanctity Lin 2022-08-10

The best dictionary all over the internet.

I Ra 2022-04-27

感谢,超级好用

ovejita feliz15 2022-04-23

It's perfect for learning japanese but, is there some way that I can use it for English? like for english rare words, if I try using a EN-ES instead of JP-EN dictionary would it work and how can I do that?

Memes 2022-04-17

very usefull

Seul-gi 2022-04-15

One of the best developed pop-up dic. out there! Developer definitely put a lot of time into it...I would love...however if there was something similiar for the Korean language... Most Korean "pop-up" dics don't have ANY Anki integration at all... It would be a dream come true.

Max Moroz 2022-02-26

It's amazing, I don't understand why it doesn't have >1M users. Everyone who learns Japanese should have it. One problem I ran into recently is that it no longer works with Google Docs (because Google Docs switched to canvas rendering). I turned on "Force HTML-based rendering for Google Docs", but it wasn't enough. I hope one day this could be fixed, for now I had to switch to Zoho docs (where Yomichan works fine).

Abdelouahab Toutouh 2022-01-29

A Japanese learning essentiel. Request : Please add TTS buttons for copied sentences in Yomichan Search page - (and AnkiDroid integration within wiki browser, if possible).

Matt Billings 2022-01-08

A game changer - like rikaikun but better. The level of customization with this is crazy and it makes kanji lookups lightning fast and super easy. Very thankful to Alex for making this gem of a language learning aid!

Gambel 2021-12-18

Instant convenient lookup with pitch accent, native pronunciation, Anki support, (AND you can add JP-JP dictionaries onto it too). Makes immersion learning RIDICULOUSLY convenient and efficient. Wish I could pay money for this thing lol

Ann Sparkle 2021-09-11

Great, so great that Yomichan can connect with Anki!

J. 2021-09-11

Very good. Much more customisable than Rikaikun

Devon Powell 2021-07-15

Fantastic extension! Really helps with daily learning. In particular, I like how I can traverse from a word to a single kanji, and it will define that kanji to give a deeper understanding of why the word is written how it is. It also has lots of configuration settings which is a great feature that isn't commonly offered in extensions, or at least not to this extent. Would recommend!

Black Duck 2021-04-15

Great tool but I have a feature request and will update to five stars if it is implemented. I would like to be able to set the addon so I can limit scans within a popup to only a specific dictionary. So for example I would like to scan the initial word with a monolingual dictionary and then scan words within the popup with only the english to japanese dictionary. That way I can learn difficult dictionary vocab with english. I hope that makes sense. Thank you.

Indago 2021-03-05

Helps immensely, especially with kanji! Though occasionally some kanji and slang words aren't able to be read or defined by Yomichan, it works most of the time and helps me infer meaning of sentences if I don't know a word.

G 2021-02-10

Insanely good, brilliant support for custom dictionaries and anki, if you don't have this extension you are seriously missing out!

A K 2021-01-25

This is one of the most essential tools to reach fluency fast. Thank you so much for creating this.

Thermospore 2021-01-09

Indispensable

Prinetta 2021-01-03

I've used it for years, incredibly useful.

Edit:Awesome

hikariさん 2020-12-20

This is what every serious Japanese learner needs on their computer.

Riberium 2020-12-19

Thanks for the best extension

Felix 2020-11-25

A must have

外人です 2020-10-22

Perfect for customization and for detaching yourself from monolingual dictionaries.

Aaron Roy 2020-09-26

Works perfectly with J-J dictionaries and I appreciate the recursive lookup feature. Very customizable too!

Curious Bird 2020-09-11

This add-on combined with anki is great!

HiddenArmy 2020-08-19

Yomichan is great improvement over rikai-kun's family, with Anki integration and you can also add another dictionaries too!. While it's not 100% perfect, this is a must have ext for JP learners. Also if you have any trouble, the devs is on github and ready to help.

Richard Erasmus Liiv 2020-08-19

Easy to use and works wonderfully!

Luis Philipe Rocha 2020-08-19

It's very very good, but I've stumbled upon a bug that kind of broke my Yomichan. The CTRL C function to copy and automatically search for a word or kanji stopped working. I have to manually paste it in a separate tab inside the browser and click "search", it's a drag. To be more specific, I was using it perfectly inside Anki's ambient during reviews. But now I have to manually paste and search. These manual searches add up quickly, and seconds become precious minutes. Still, excellent extension. Lots of customization options and very user-friendly.

Kyle Ott 2020-07-30

It took me a very long time to set up but it was worth it!

ドラえもん 2020-07-30

Recently, there has been a lot of trouble, so it can't be used After trying it again a few times, it stopped working after a day or two If developers see this comment, hopefully they can improve it. Thank you

Levyeir 2020-07-17

So many errors just to install a dictionary. Googling the error would lead to a 3 pages worth of code on a Github website, yeah I think I'll pass on that.
