Akebi Japanese Dictionary

With stroke-order independent handwriting recognition, 320k+ example sentences, 200k+ words and 6k+ Kanji database!Akebi allows you to use character masks to filter out thousands of words from a large Japanese Dictionary. It allows you to specify what radicals appear in each character of the word, and set particular characters. Using this, you can find extremely specific words without a lot of Japanese knowledge.Akebi is designed to allow fast searching, and as such, the word can be specified by last letter, first letter or any letter in between. NOTE ABOUT THE INTERNET PERMISSION:I hope this doesnt scare you off downloading Akebi: It is fully available offline, but the dictionary needs to be downloaded first. If you choose to allow it, Akebi will also send a small bit of analytical data back to me so I can find out which features are most used (It absolutely will not send anything if you disable it.).Some of the features include:- Word listsThese allow you to add any word youre searching for to a list with just one press. The next time this word fits a mask youre searching for, it appears in red at the top of all possible words, to make it easy to find in case you forget. Its also good for words that the dictionary doesnt have, like names specific to what youre doing. You can even test yourself on these words too using a flashcard test! If you want, you can export them to a text file for use elsewhere as well.- Radical searchSpecify which characters of the word contain what radicals. Words that dont fit this will be filtered out.- Inbuilt Japanese KeyboardYou dont even need to swap keyboards to use Akebi. You just jump in and start typing. But, if you prefer, you can turn this feature off if it causes issues with your keyboard, or if you just want to use your normal keyboard! You can even pick Akebis keyboard/handwriting recognition as your input method!- Kanji descriptionsFind out how common a character is, what grade level it is, what it means, how to read it, its Unicode number, how many strokes are in it, its reference numbers (Heisig, Nelson...), a stroke order diagram for it, a decomposition of it, all the words that contain it...- English to Japanese searchingSearch with English as well!- Handwriting recognitionAkebi has custom built handwriting recognition - and stroke order doesnt matter!
