Czarownica 0 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Some time ago I decided that I should get a dictionary app for my mobile phone, so I asked my Japanese class and they recommended me JED. It's a free Japanese-English and English-Japanese dictionary and a kanji dictionary as well.You can find it here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.umibouzu.jedWhat dictionary app do you use?

linguaholic 148 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I have always been using the "japanese" dictionary app and would definitely recommend it to anybody. As far as I can remember it is not free of charge but the app is superb so you shouldn't mind to spend a few bucks on it :=)http://japaneseapp.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amatenshi 0 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I've been looking for a good Japanese dictionary app to use on my phone and tablet. I was given a few recommendations in the past, but I don't remember what they were. Right now, I just use Denshi Jisho ( http://jisho.org ) on my PC. I thought it was a godsend when I came across it.

djengle91 0 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I use JED as well, and have tried others, but have found JED to be far superior to anything else. Well, at least when it comes to Android apps. It is so simple to use and to find the words you're looking for as well as kanji and good example sentences. It's really great if you can get some kind of kanji recognition app as well. I use the GO keyboard which you can install an additional Japanese input mode for, as well as the Chinese character add-on. Then you can trace kanji and it will recognize it, and you can input that into JED and find any kanji. It's a perfect combo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Akya 0 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 I love "imiwa?" which used to be called "kotoba" on ios devices. Not only you can look up words in hiragana, katakana, english - romanised Japanese also works! On top of this, you can tap the 部 icon above the keyboard to insert kanji by the radical. I stopped carrying my denshi jisho (electronic dictionary) around cos of this app Also it downloads the entire database so I don't need to access internet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Miya 21 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 JED is probably the best and most recommended app for Japanese dictonaires. I use it when I need a quick translation or when I need to know the correct stroke order for my Kanjis. When I'm on the computer though, I like to use http://jisho.org/. The page runs fast, it's easy to use, and it provides multiple translations when possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Miya 21 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I just downloaded a new Japanese dictionary app called Jsho. I like it a lot. It's easy to use and has enough information. They also tell you how to write Kanji properly (stroke order is provided). I think it's a great app to have. Best of all, you don't need to connect to the internet to use this app. That's great for me since there's no wifi in my dorm room.https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ric.Jsho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LC143 1 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 When I used to study my hiragana I found JED to be the most useful dictionary particularly because of the pronunciation as opposed to simple translations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
