Read in Romaji

What it does

Read in Romaji is a browser extension that helps Japanese learners read real Japanese websites with romaji guides directly on the page. Unlike full-page translators, it keeps the original Japanese text visible while adding support for kanji, hiragana, and katakana. It is built for beginners and self-study learners who want to practice reading articles, blogs, forums, and product pages without constantly copying text into a translator.

  Learn Japanese contextually while browsingDec 2025 · lingoku.ai · ▲92

  Hi HN, Just wanted to share a tool i've been working on to help with my own study routine. It’s a browser extension called Lingoku. The idea is simple: we spend hours browsing the web in English every day. This tool replaces some of the english words with Japanese vocabulary based on your japanese level (Similar to Toucan, but with a better user experience). It’s basically an attempt to make the "i+1" method actually passive, you understand the sentence because it's mostly english, but you pick up Japanese words naturally from the context. It uses an LLM in the backend to make sure the…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
