Keitai Jisho (mobile dictionary) is a free to use project, driven by George Shazkho, which objective is to be a simple and useful tool for non-native Japanese speakers. It's features are growing over time as it is a freshly created project.

Currently working features:

  • Dictionary query by direct KANA input (main dictionary key is kana).
  • Side dictionary queries by using KANJI (special direct query).
  • Complex ROMAJI and MEANING (in English) queries (specialized algorithms are used).
  • Kana hearing system (hears japanese pronunciation of each meaning).
  • Kanji detailed search (detailed information, stroke order and more).
  • Outsourced search service (to reduce application size).
  • Smart search history (keeps track of used queries to allow offline query and faster results).
  • Forced re-query (if a query ends bugged and it got cached)
  • Kana to Romaji and Romaji to Kana function on results.

Future queued features:

  • Complete offline capability (user agreement needed).
  • Graphic search (by direct input or camera).
  • Additional dictionaries (topic-specific).
  • Usage references (examples, sentences, etc).
  • Japanese language reference (for correct understanding).
