This dictionary is brilliant! I use it now for 2 years and I consider it indispensable for daily japanese learning. Most useful: Yomikata/ SKIP/ Compound lookup and Kanji/ Word Flashcards. Thanks for providing this valuable tool for free! Really many thanks! P.S.: Only 2 things I miss: Handwriting recognition and Stroke order diagrams. But I rarely use it and if I need I switch to PAdict for a short time. Both tools combined would be perfect.

Formidable ! As we say in French. Works perfectly on Treo. Handy, ludic and intelligent system. Any updates ?

This is the best dictionary I have ever used. It's compact AND consolidates 3 dictionaries in one, kanji, Jpn-Eng, and Eng-Jpn. And it's incredibly easy to use. It's the best.

Excellent. Have used it for the past three years while studying Japanese. It has been a powerful tool for reference and for self-study. The dictionary used is extremely comprehensive, and all of the tools are functional and easy to use. Mr. Brault has created an excellent program. I am looking forward to updated versions of this program.

One of the best apps I've seen yet. In addition to a complete kanji dictionary (with seven different kanji lookup methods), it has a very comprehensive Japanese-English dictionary. The Kanji Explorer is a very brilliant way to help learn the associations between various kanji, and the flashcards are helpful in learning vocabulary for my Japanese class. Thanks for such a great utility!
