Origa
Learn Japanese in your own language, all in one app
Vocabulary, kanji, grammar, listening and OCR capture in one free app, with a native interface in English, Russian, Korean and Vietnamese. iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, macOS and web. Offline-first, open source.
I learned Japanese outside the English-speaking world and kept hitting the same two walls. First, every serious tool assumes English: WaniKani, Bunpro, Genki. You end up translating Japanese → English → your own language, twice, on every word. Second, a working setup means four or five apps that don't talk to each other: a dictionary, an SRS, a kanji trainer, a grammar reference, a listening app.
Origa is my answer to both:
Everything in one app: 200,000+ native phrases with audio, N5-N1 kanji and grammar, OCR capture (point your camera at manga or a textbook page and it becomes cards), speech recognition, FSRS scheduling.
Your language, natively: the interface is English, Russian, Korean or Vietnamese, not a translation layer over an English app.
It's free, offline-first, open source, and runs on iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, macOS and the web. The iOS app just shipped, and feedback from iPhone users is especially welcome.
Two things I'd love feedback on: does the "no English required" angle make sense to you, and if you're on iPhone, what would it take for Origa to replace your current study stack?
