Extract it to C:\kakasi then use MS-DOS Command prompt to convert your texts. Use these commands:
1. For Kanji to Kana:
c:\kakasi\bin>kakasi -s -Ja -Ha -Ka < yourfile.txt > kana.txt
or
c:\kakasi\bin>kakasi -s -Ja < yourfile.txt > kana.txt
2. For Kanji to Romaji:
c:\kakasi\bin>kakasi -s -U -Ja -Ha -Ka < yourfile.txt > romaji.txt
Note: Kakasi does not support Unicode, UTF-8, etc. You should convert your texts to SHIFT-JIS using programs like EditPad or any advanced text editor.
Kakasi only supports with old JIS, new JIS, EUC, DEC, SHIFTJIS.
This is a good encoding converter:

There is a better converter, but I forgot its name.
If this is what you want, then don't forget to give me a gift
