Description
Kanji Lookup - simple, fast, and hassle-free!
This App is not a dictionary or an exhaustive Kanji reference - and nor does it strive to be! Instead, it focusses on - and attempts to excel at - one thing: Finding the meaning of an unknown Kanji character as quickly and easily as possible using the only way that really makes sense on a touch-enable device: by drawing it.
Stop wasting your time counting strokes, deciphering radicals, or learning the intricacies of 'well-designed' lookup schemes - simply start drawing the character and watch results appear instantaneously. KanjiLookup does not clutter your results with obscure readings only found in the name of that one mountain village or cross-references to paper dictionaries you most likely don't own anyway. Instead, it simply shows you what you are looking for: The character's pronunciation and definition. In addition, a searchable list of the most relevant words containing the Kanji character is only a tap away. Of course you can also search using the keyboard.
KanjiLookup was designed from the ground up for minimal start-up time, nearly instantaneous handwriting recognition, and a clean interface that doesn't get in your way. It currently contains information for over 3500 Kanji, including but not limited to all the Joyo and Jinmeiyo characters.

This app is so good on so many levels, I swear. Now I have a tool to look up kanji and facilitate immersion and learning materials by and large. Thank you so much for creating this app.

This app is just what I was looking for, to help me translate Kanji into phonics. I can use visual translators but not learn the in-between step for verbal communication.

Really useful for looking up kanji instead pf searching by stroke or particle.

Great app to know about Kanji. You just have to draw the radical or any part, and it will show you all the related kanji. It made my Japanese learning a bit easy. Thank you so much for such a great app!

Bad lookup. Failed. Even Google Translate is better

You start drawing the kanji but then 5 seconds later the advert at the bottom loads, and it clears everything you've written - you have to start again. It does this every, single, time, you use the app. Annoying and unacceptable - get it fixed.
