Kaku Japanese Dictionary (OCR) 1.3.81

The Quickest Way to Lookup Kanji on Your Device

Kaku is an efficient and versatile Japanese dictionary application designed to enhance the user experience across various platforms. Utilizing advanced optical character recognition (OCR) technology, Kaku adeptly recognizes kanji characters displayed on the device screen, eliminating the cumbersome process of manual lookups. This feature is especially beneficial for Japanese learners aiming to engage with authentic materials such as manga and untranslated mobile games without the inconvenience of switching between applications on Android.

Inspired by Leading Japanese Reading Tools

For those familiar with KanjiTomo, Kaku serves as the Android counterpart, providing a similar user experience tailored for mobile devices. It closely mimics the functionality of popular browser extensions like Rikaikun, Rikaichan, Rikaisama, and Yomichan, thereby offering a reliable tool for kanji interpretation directly from your mobile device.

Opening Up Endless Study Opportunities

The capability to swiftly look up kanji in any application significantly enhances the practice of Japanese language skills. With Kaku, users can:

• Transition from reading manga in English to enjoying it in Japanese.
• Explore a wide range of untranslated Japanese mobile games that are not available in English.
• Easily identify kanji in applications that restrict text copying, such as Twitter.
• Read Japanese text within the original application rather than needing to share it with another reader app.
• Utilize Kaku alongside Chrome as Android's version of Rikai-tachi tools.
• Recognize kanji present in random images encountered during daily usage.
