Mojido (文字道)

The Way of Characters - A Japanese reading practice app that teaches you to read Japanese by typing romaji from memory.

How It Works

See Japanese - A sentence appears with the current token highlighted
Recall the reading - You must remember the romaji (no hints shown by default)
Type it - Your typed romaji appears below with instant feedback
Learn from mistakes - Errors block progress until you backspace and correct them

This is active recall practice - you're training your brain to recognize and read Japanese characters, not just copy what you see.

Real sentences from Tatoeba - learn with meaningful context, never random characters
Token-by-token validation with instant green/red feedback
Kanji hints - click any kanji (dotted underline) to reveal its reading
Smart romaji handling:
- Multiple input styles accepted (し = "shi" or "si", つ = "tsu" or "tu")
- Proper ん handling (requires "nn" before vowels/y-sounds)
- っ (small tsu) consonant doubling
Day streak tracking with celebration on first sentence each day
Progress tracking - per-character accuracy stored locally
Dark mode support
