Questions
- What is Yomigi?
- Yomigi (読み技) is a Japanese reading trainer. You read short passages near your current edge, get help when you are stuck, answer a quick quiz, and that evidence shapes your next practice.
- Is Yomigi for complete beginners?
- Not really. You should be comfortable with hiragana and katakana and know at least a little basic Japanese. If you are still learning the scripts from zero, start there first.
- Is this a replacement for Anki, WaniKani, Bunpro, or a textbook?
- No. Those tools are strong for vocab, kanji, grammar drills, and structured study. Yomigi is for reading in context. Many learners use both.
- Are the passages written by AI, and can AI be wrong?
- Yes. Fresh passages are AI-generated, checked automatically, and sometimes revised; no human reviewer reads them before you do. Japanese, quizzes, and lookup explanations can still be unnatural, unfair, or wrong. Report anything that feels off—the passage is attached automatically.
- What happens when I click a word?
- Dictionary-style help and short context appear for that word or phrase in the sentence. It is meant to unblock you, not replace your own reading effort.
- How does practice adapt?
- Over sessions the profile tracks lookups, quiz answers, difficulty ratings, and reading friction—not just a single JLPT label. Future passages are graded toward that edge, but calibration is still improving and will not be perfect yet.
- Which Japanese levels does it support?
- N5 through N1 practice lanes. Shorter passages are the most reliable today; longer and harder lanes are still improving.
- What does Yomigi cost?
- Free is $0 and gives you 10 freshly generated passages a month—no card required. Standard is $5/month for 250 a month, or $50/year for Annual Standard (pay for 10 months, get 12), plus optional top-ups at $2 per 100 passages. Only newly generated passages count toward the limit.
- Can I cancel, and what about refunds?
- Yes. Open Account & Settings → Billing → Cancel Standard. You keep Standard until the end of the period you already paid for, then drop back to Free. Update your card from Manage Payment in Link when needed (Yomigi is sold through Stripe Link under Managed Payments). If something looks wrong, email support@yomigi.app.
- What should I do if a passage feels wrong?
- Use the report button on the reader or recap screen. The report includes the passage and session details—you do not need to write a long bug report.
- What data does Yomigi store?
- Your account, reading sessions, lookups, quiz answers, difficulty ratings, reports, and profile signals. You can erase your learner profile from Account & Settings. Email support@yomigi.app with privacy questions.
