Utility library for detecting and transliterating Hiragana, Katakana, and Romaji. Includes text conversion, checking utilities, and extra tools like okurigana stripping and tokenization.
Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) utility library for detecting and transliterating Hiragana, Katakana, and Romaji.
Ported from esnaultdev/wanakana-kt, which in turn was ported from WaniKani/WanaKana v4.0.2. This library is written in Kotlin and supports multiple platforms through KMP, but does not include Android-specific bindings.
