About

Kanji Highlighter lets you look up any Japanese word on the fly — highlight text on any webpage to instantly see its reading, pitch accent, and English meaning in a clean popup.
NOTE: You need to activate the extension by toggling it on (on the "Extensions" section on Chrome, on the upper right).

FEATURES
- Highlight any Japanese word to get an instant popup with its kanji, kana reading, and English definitions, sourced from Jisho.org.
- See the pitch accent of every word directly on its reading. High and low morae are marked with overlines and underlines, with step markers showing where the pitch rises or falls. Accent data is sourced from OJAD (Online Japanese Accent Dictionary, University of Tokyo).
- Easily turn the highlighter on or off from the extension popup. Useful when you don't need it on certain pages.
