"ひらがな ひらがな ひらがな"

Into katakana(カタカナ)

iex(3)> Exkanji.katakana "a a A ア ア ァ ァ あ ぁ 亜"
"ア ア ア ア ア ァ ァ ア ァ ア"
iex(4)> Exkanji.katakana "片仮名 かたかな katakana"
"カタカナ カタカナ カタカナ"

iex(5)> Exkanji.romaji "a a A ア ア ァ ァ あ ぁ 亜"
"a a a a a ァ ァ a ァ a"

As a Morphological Analyzer.

Exkanji is capable of detecting Part-of-Speech from text, As a Morphological Analyzer. It uses Mecab.

iex(1)> Exkanji.parse "エモい"
{:ok,
 [%Exkanji.Mecab{base: "*", cform: "*", ctype: "*",
   feature: "名詞,一般,*,*,*,*,*", hiragana: nil, pos: "名詞",
   pos1: "一般", pos2: "*", pos3: "*", pron: nil, read: nil, romaji: nil,
   surface: "エモ"},
  %Exkanji.Mecab{base: "いる", cform: "一段", ctype: "連用形",
   feature: "動詞,自立,*,*,一段,連用形,いる,イ,イ", hiragana: nil,
   pos: "動詞", pos1: "自立", pos2: "*", pos3: "*", pron: "イ",
   read: "イ", romaji: nil, surface: "い"}]}

It also makes to change that sets Mecab's dictionaly into second arguments in Exkanji.parse function.

iex(2)> Exkanji.parse "エモい", dict: "/opt/local/lib/mecab/dic/neologd-utf8"
{:ok,
 [%Exkanji.Mecab{base: "エモい", cform: "*", ctype: "*",
   feature: "名詞,固有名詞,一般,*,*,*,エモい,エモイ,エモイ",
   hiragana: nil, pos: "名詞", pos1: "固有名詞", pos2: "一般",
   pos3: "*", pron: "エモイ", read: "エモイ", romaji: nil,
   surface: "エモい"}]}
