Kana typing practice
Learn to type Japanese on your normal keyboard — free
Most kana tools teach you to recognize characters. Kana Typing teaches you to type Japanese — it maps the real JIS kana layout onto whatever keyboard you already have (あ is the 3 key, か is t), so any layout works. There's a romaji mode too. Free, no account, runs in the browser — works offline (PWA) and on phones with a tappable keyboard. Includes the full JLPT N5 vocabulary with example sentences, spaced repetition, and weak-key drills. It can even type through your Anki reviews after one sync.
Hi PH 👋 I built this because when I started learning Japanese I could recognize kana but couldn't actually type it, and setting up the JIS keyboard felt intimidating. So I made a trainer that teaches the layout by physical key position and drills real vocabulary at the same time. No signup, works offline, free. I'd love your honest feedback — what's confusing, what's missing?
