What it does

Japanese dictionary app for iPhone and iPad with kanji lookup, example sentences, flashcards, OCR photo lookup, and a Safari extension for reading Japanese.

Look up words just by taking a picture. No viewfinders or complicated interfaces, just take a picture and then tap on a word to look it up. Watch Photo Lookup In Action The Nihongo Safari Extension adds furigana or romaji to any webpage, anywhere on the web. Tap on any word to see its definition, right inside Safari. Tap on the definition to jump over to Nihongo and see example sentences, alternative spellings and more. Watch Safari Extension In Action I almost don’t use any other app. Everything is at one place - dictionary, flashcards, clippings, kanji learning and so on. And looking up a word by taking a pic is absolutely amazing. - TygerLu, App Store Review I highly recommend this app,…from nihongo-app.com
