Furigana & Word Analysis
| Download | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Enhanced Furigana Dictionary | Improves reading accuracy for generated furigana and word lookups (roughly 10,000 additional words). 45 MB download, about 250 MB on disk. |
This pack does not turn furigana on or off — it only improves the accuracy of the readings Mekuru generates. It has its own Use enhanced dictionary toggle on the Downloads screen; if tapping words ever stops working, turn the toggle off (the download is kept) and restart the app. See Furigana for the display modes themselves.
