Mazelingo
Mazelingo replaces part of the Japanese text you choose with English so you can read it in a Japanese-English mix, with the English ratio and difficulty fully adjustable.
About Mazelingo
Mazelingo is a reading tool: it replaces part of the Japanese text you provide with English and presents it as a natural blend of Japanese and English. You can set the amount and difficulty of English separately (choose from 20%, 40%, 60%, or 80%, and switch even while reading), and when you come across an English sentence you can't understand, one tap switches it back to the original Japanese on the spot. It also offers a distraction-free reading interface with adjustable themes and font sizes. You can paste sample texts or articles you want to read; free trials require no registration, and after signing in with Google you can read once per day for free—upgrade to Pro if you need more usage.
