Turn your Japanese characters notes into flashcards with AI
Upload your kana charts, kanji lists, slides or photos of textbook pages and get flashcards that repeat on a spaced schedule.
Why build your own Japanese characters deck
Learning hiragana, katakana and kanji means repeating the same shapes until they stick, and Japanese characters flashcards are one of the most direct ways to do it. A generic printable chart does not match the order your teacher covers or the readings in your textbook.
- Start with the kana you have not learned yet, then add kanji in the order your course introduces them.
- Keep the front of each card to one character so you practice recognition before readings.
- Review new cards daily for a short session rather than one long session per week.
- Check your deck against your textbook after generating it, since OCR can misread stroke-heavy kanji.
Any source you already have
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the characters from images.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know fade into longer intervals so study time goes further.
Kana, kanji and vocabulary
Build separate decks for hiragana, katakana, kanji readings and word lists, or combine them in one set.
How it works
Add your material
Upload the chart, lesson slides or notes you are working from. Photos work too.
Review the generated cards
Check the characters, readings and meanings, then edit anything that does not match your course.
Study on a schedule
Open the deck in your browser each day and let spaced repetition decide what comes up next.
Making cards from your own material keeps the deck aligned with your course. Each card can show a character on the front and its reading and meaning on the back, and you can add the words you actually meet in lessons.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for hiragana?
Hiragana has 46 basic characters, so one card per character is a good start. Add the dakuten and combined sounds once the basic set feels comfortable.
What should go on the back of a kanji card?
Put the most common reading and meaning on the back, such as ひ or にち for 日 meaning sun or day. Add example words later once the basic reading is solid.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and you do not need a credit card to start.
Can I export my Japanese characters deck?
Exporting to Anki, CSV, PDF or DOCX is a paid feature on the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. Students get 40% off with a school email.
