Migaku

An immersion toolkit that mines cards from video and text. Powerful. Setup-heavy. Easy to buy before you have a reading habit.

Good fit if

  • Learners already watching or reading Japanese
  • People who want cards from their own media
  • Intermediate students leaving beginner decks

Look elsewhere if

  • You still need a beginner course
  • You will not maintain a mining workflow
  • Anki with a small manual deck already works

Migaku is a paid toolkit for learning from Japanese media. The core loop is mining: look up a word in a show or article, make a card, review it later. It sits close to Anki in spirit, with more product around subtitles and lookup.

Who it fits

It fits intermediates who already watch or read Japanese and hate copying cards by hand.

Limits

Setup is real work. It is a weak first tool. If you need prepared Japanese cards on iPhone with almost no authoring, Inku is the lower-setup product we make. Inku is made and operated by our team. Migaku is independent.
