1. Akebi opens instantly: you can start typing in the word you want to find while Akebi loads the dictionary in the background.
2. Find 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...
3. Akebi has 320,000+ example sentences: search for any word and find out how to use it in a sentence!
4. Akebi allows you to use character masks to filter out thousands of words from a large Japanese Dictionary.
5. 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.
6. The next time this word fits a mask you're searching for, it appears in red at the top of all possible words, to make it easy to find in case you forget.
7. 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. ).
8. Akebi has custom built handwriting recognition - and stroke order doesn't matter!
9. With stroke-order independent handwriting recognition, 320k+ example sentences, 200k+ words and 6k+ Kanji database!
10. Using this, you can find extremely specific words without a lot of Japanese knowledge.
11. It allows you to specify what radicals appear in each character of the word, and set particular characters.
1. I keep a few others for ease of use (while I love that Akebi has massive conjugation lists for any verb, I'm not kidding when I say these are massive, and finding what you're looking for can be a bit of a chore until you learn the layout), but Akebi is very complete and once you get used to its few quirks, is potentially the best Japanese dictionary available.
2. But can I suggest something... is it possible to add the the function of shift or copy amount of words from list to list? And maybe rearrange the list position? thank you very much! keep on good work!Excellent after customizing options.
3. Not only does it include a dictionary but also lists of actual phrases with the words you've been looking for.
4. A very practical and comprehensive app.Great offline Japanese dictionary app! I have been using it since more than 4years, but didn't face any issue at all, ever.
5. other one would be you can't add your own meanings to the words, atleast i am yet to find optionBest dictionary app I've ever found.
6. The pitch accent information, easy copy and paste of definitions into my notes, and word list features are extremely helpful.
7. A lot of different advanced ways to search for specific kanji and words which makes finiding monster kanji so easy.
8. One thing I'd love to know, though: where do the example sentences come from? Tatoeba?Hi there! You've made the best Japanese dictionary apps! That helps me a lot.
9. Not only can you search for words and get their meaning, it also decomposes the kanji into their radicals to help really understand their meaning.
10. Incredibly good kanji writing lookup is a huge plus (not perfect, but better than anything else I've tried), in addition to the color-coded entries that show usage frequencies.
11. Oh, and can export words to Anki with a single tap, which you can then use to edit into another format (though what it defaults to is quite usable if you're just flashcarding individual vocab).
