Description

Kanji lookup - simple, fast, and hassle-free!

This App is not a dictionary or an exhaustive Kanji reference - and nor does it strive to be! Instead, it focusses on - and attempts to excel at - one thing: Finding the meaning of an unknown Kanji character as quickly and easily as possible using the only way that really makes sense on a touch-enable device: by drawing it.

Stop wasting your time counting strokes, deciphering radicals, or learning the intricacies of 'well-designed' lookup schemes - simply start drawing the character and watch results appear instantaneously.
KanjiLookup does not clutter your results with obscure readings only found in the name of that one mountain village or cross-references to paper dictionaries you most likely don't own anyway. Instead, it simply shows you what you are looking for: The character's pronunciation and definition. In addition, a searchable list of the most relevant words containing the Kanji character is only a tap away.
Of course you can also search using the keyboard. KanjiLookup can even (optionally) search for all Kanji characters contained in text in the pasteboard.

KanjiLookup was designed from the ground up for minimal start-up time, nearly instantaneous handwriting recognition, and a clean interface that doesn't get in your way. It currently contains information for over 3500 Kanji, including but not limited to all the Joyo and Jinmeiyo characters.

素晴らしい

贅沢言わせてもらうと、熟語の選択肢も加えてほしい

Unreliable, works great when it wants too though

shrhkalalkd on

Some nights the Kanji scanner works perfectly and gives furigana plus the English translations of the Kanji, which makes reading through Japaneae texts effortless and incredibly smooth. Other nights however it is completely worthless and only gives furigana and absolutely refuses to give English translations for even the most simplest of Kanji. Unfortunately it is literally 50/50 crapshoot on when this thing decides to work or not, literally only works as intended half the time, so it is unreliable and thus looses quite a bit of stars for me. A shame, because there is so much potential. Please fix these bugs and I will fix my review.

i love this

ban tiktok bc its trash on

It helps me so much to just write the kanji rather than try looking it up by how it looks i would give it a 6/5 if i could

Just what I needed as mid level learner

It is a great challenge to find an approach that allows you to get over the beginning Japanese language hump, but this app did it for me. Although, I know I will need another app or approach to improve on my grammar, this app is giving me a rapid increase in vocabulary through exploring Kanji in a surprising way, by just random exposure. What sticks sticks and what doesn’t is increasingly familiar over repetition.

What an app

Love it

Literally perfect

Literally one of the best apps I’ve ever seen. The drawing recognition is honestly incredible, and the stroke by stroke animations help so much. It also doesn’t bombard you with ads or make you get an account or anything like that. It’s literally perfect

So great!

So good!

This is a great app! I just discovered the camera tool, which translates any kanji into furigana, and it has made reading Japanese texts so much quicker now! Thank you for this app!!!!

Amazing

CreamedCorn on

This app is one of two Japanese-learning tools that I couldn’t imagine not having (the other is Kanshudo). It’s so good that even if you are terrible at writing kanji, it’ll probably still return the correct result. One time I came across a kanji in a manga that was written with an INCORRECT radical variation but this app STILL gave me the correct kanji. It’s a godsend. To all the people complaining about it not matching the correct kanji: I’d like to stand over you and see what the heck you’re doing wrong because you gotta REALLY mess up the drawing for this to not work well. Or maybe you are trying to use the camera function which is admittedly not good (especially if you are taking pictures of your TV screen).
