Korean romanization reader
Paste Hangul and read it with Revised Romanization above each word, a syllable-by-syllable breakdown, and meanings on tap.
Hangul first, romanization as support
Hangul is quick to learn but slow to read fluently at first. Yomi keeps the Korean text itself front and centre and puts the romanization above it, so you build reading speed in the real script instead of relying on Latin letters.
Syllable breakdown
Tap a word and you get the whole word, its romanization and, underneath, each syllable block with its own reading. That makes sound changes easier to follow when the pronunciation does not match the spelling letter for letter.
Where it helps
- Read K-pop lyrics, captions and comments in Hangul.
- Romanize names, addresses and station names for travel.
- Work through textbook dialogues with pronunciation support.
- Pull Korean text from a screenshot and read it on the spot.
