JDict - Japanese Dictionary

जिम Breen के JMDict शब्दकोश के आधार पर जापानी शब्दकोश

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)
