    Steam - lots of games in Japanese, including Visual Novels. Textractor - tool for extracting text from Visual Novels and copying them to clipboard. Combined with Clipboard Inserter, texthooker.html, and 10ten, it makes reading Visual Novels a breeze. ShareX - OCR tool, handy for games and manga. I use it similarly to Textractor, combined with Clipboard Inserter, texthooker.html, and 10ten.

    Anki is a program which makes remembering things easy. Because it's a lot more efficient than traditional study methods, you can either greatly decrease your time spent studying, or greatly increase the amount you learn.

    JDICT is a cost-effective application that provides you an opportunity to convert the Japanese text into English, making you easily communicate with your friends without any disturbance.
    The site is meant for Vietnamese speakers learning Japanese, but jdict.net (and the jdict mobile apps) has probably the best kanji handwriting recognition anywhere I've seen online. It can recognize the right kanji even if you slur the strokes together like in handwriting. Very useful for looking up kanji even if you can't read the Vietnamese definitions. For those who do know Vietnamese, it's an excellent resource that has Vietnamese readings and explanations for kanji, in addition to the regular Japanese dictionary.
