Stop guessing what's on a Japanese menu. Point your camera and Tabelingo — your Japanese menu translator — reads it back to you in English, including handwritten menus and izakaya boards that other menu scanner apps give up on.
HOW IT WORKS
📷 Photograph one or more pages of any restaurant menu.
🍜 Tabelingo reads every dish: English name, romaji, an ingredient breakdown, and the price converted to your currency.
✅ Tap dishes to build your order.
🗣️ Show the screen or press play — Tabelingo speaks your order out loud in Japanese, and the waiter confirms with one tap. No shared language needed.
WHAT MAKES TABELINGO DIFFERENT
• Reads handwritten Japanese menus, not just printed ones.
• A dish photo only appears when we're confident it's correct — no misleading stock photos on unusual or regional dishes. If we're not sure, you'll see an honest "not in our database" instead of a guess.
• Every dish gets an ingredient and allergen check, whether it's in our curated database or read straight off the menu.
• The order-confirmation screen is designed for the waiter to use too — large Japanese text, an audio readout, and one-tap "OK" or "something's different" buttons.
MORE FEATURES
🗣️ Two-way voice translator, for anything that comes up beyond the menu.
💬 Quick phrases for common restaurant situations — a table for two, asking for the bill, checking an ingredient.
🕐 Menu history — every restaurant and menu you've read, saved for next time.
WHO IT'S FOR
Travelers to Japan, Tokyo food explorers, izakaya regulars, and anyone who's ever nodded politely at a menu they couldn't read. Works great for ramen shops, sushi counters, yakitori spots, and small local restaurants with no English menu at all.

A note on allergies: ingredient and allergen information comes from reading the menu itself or from our dish database. It's a strong starting point, not medical advice — always confirm anything serious directly with restaurant staff.
