About Jiten Japanese Dictionary [Online]

Jiten [Online] is a Japanese dictionary based on JMDict/Kanjidic

This app essentially provides the same functionality as opening the https://jiten.obfusk.dev website in a web browser — but with some small advantages (like long press for tooltips).

There is also a completely offline version — named simply "Jiten Japanese Dictionary" — which requires more storage space (and could be slower depending on your device and internet connection). You can install both at the same time if you want.

Features:

JMDict multilingual japanese dictionary

• kanji, readings (romaji optional), meanings & more

• meanings in english, dutch, german, french and/or spanish

• pitch accent (from Wadoku)

• browse by frequency/jlpt

Kanji dictionary

• readings (romaji optional), meanings (english), jmdict entries, radicals & more

• search using SKIP codes

• search by radical

• handwritten kanji recognition

• browse by frequency/level/jlpt/SKIP

Example sentences (from Tatoeba)

• with english, dutch, german, french and/or spanish translation

• some with audio

Stroke order

• input a word or sentence and see how it's written

Fine-grained search using regexes (regular expressions)

• simple searches don't require knowledge of regexes

• quick reference available

• Dark mode

• Search history (stored locally)
