Add-on summary

WaniKanify 2.0 takes the vocabulary you've studied on WaniKani, finds the English word on a webpage and substitutes the kanji character. As you learn more kanji, your webpages begin to fill up with kanji! WaniKanify 2.0 can find words anywhere on a webpage and replace it for kanji characters. It is a great utility for practicing and recalling vocabulary you may have forgotten.

To get started, install the extension, and go to the options page. Add your public WaniKani API key, which can be found on the WaniKani website, and hit save.

Navigate to your favorite webpages, hit the Crabigator and read as normal. As you read, you'll come across kanji characters you should know. Do you remember what the mean? How to pronounce them?

This is an experimental add on. Features are currently being tested and debugged. The core functionality (changing words on the page to known characters) appears to work.

This is a fork of an existing chrome extension. View the Github repository here: https://github.com/Dorgengoa/WaniKanify-2.0 Credit to ThePieMonster for the original chrome extension.

User reviews

I don't know why, but it doesn't seem to work for me. (Yes: It got an API) Found out the issue. I needed to change the setting of the add-on to automatic:)
