JDict is an offline japanese dictionary which includes vocabulary, kanji, sentences and more.
It is largely inspired by well-known "Imi wa?" dictionary for iOS platform both functionally and visually.
Current features:
- works offline- shows kana/romaji as you type- supports wildcards in vocabulary- recent words, examples and kanji- romaji mode in search- kanji search is divided by ON/KUN readings, Nanori and meaning results- very fast example search- extract words from sentences feature- kanji stroke order animations- furigana is matched everywhere with my own algorithm (still can have some bugs though)- in component view you can see all kanji with given component ordered by JLPT level and word commonness- in kanji view you can see all compounds with given kanji ordered like above- search kanji by components (design inspired by "Japanese" dictionary)- browse kanji by JLPT and School Grades- notes- lists (works like favourites but with folders/subfolders)- vocabulary search recognises some basic grammar when typing- in word detail view examples are categorized by word meaning if such a connection exists
As you can see features are mostly basic for now.Database file is quite big (~230MB). The reason for that is that it contains a lot of example sentences data and needs a lot of indexes to run smooth.
My plans:
- make application more user friendly (list search)- learn vocabulary feature (using lists)- exporting lists to Anki- external links in vocabulary- kanji handwriting recognition- shiritori game- improve extract words algorithm (I have some ideas using statistical approach to make it run faster)
