Tick Japan is a Korean-Japanese AI translator focused exclusively on the Japanese language.
Its core function is to go beyond translation and help users "understand Japanese."
First, the intonation graph!
For example, while the Hiragana and pronunciation of "nihon" are the same, depending on the intonation, it can become "Nihon" (two long sticks) or "Nihon" (Japan). Korean learners often miss these intonation nuances even when translating, leading to awkward pronunciation.
Tick Japan visualizes the intonation of the translation results as a graph, allowing users to "visually" learn Japanese, where the meaning of the same character can change completely depending on the intonation.
Second, sentence decomposition!
It breaks down translation results into meaningful units, explaining the pronunciation, meaning, and grammatical principles (conjugation and patterns) of each chunk. This feature, which helps users understand "why the sentence is structured that way" rather than "what it was translated into," is utilized most frequently by actual users. The expression patterns learned here can be immediately applied to similar situations.
Tick Japan is a Korean-Japanese AI translator that focuses solely on the Japanese language. It is difficult to explain both of these features in a single sentence, but they are instantly understandable once you use them just once.
Third, TED Shadowing!
Shadowing is a learning method where you listen to a video and repeat it exactly, with a slight delay. The key is "repetition," and TED lectures are perfect for this because they are of a manageable length and informative. Additionally, speakers mostly use simple expressions to ensure easy understanding for a wide audience, making it less daunting for beginners.
Tick Japan displays timeline subtitles (Japanese + Furigana + Korean) for Japanese TED lectures, and tapping on a sentence brings up explanations for words and grammar—so you simply need to play and repeat. It supports sentence repetition, dictation with subtitles hidden, and saving the script as a PDF. You can try one introductory video for free.
We also recently launched a photo translation feature. The intonation graphs and sentence breakdown techniques used in text translation have been fully applied to photo translation as well!
We will continue to improve our services with a focus on the theme of "communicating with Japanese people"!
