Yomiwa - Japanese Translator for Android
See what the Chinese app Pleco is made of and you'll see what I'm willing to pay good money for. Get an on-screen OCR and that's worth good money.
Super useful. I hope in future updates you can adjust the size/shape of the translation box in the camera feature.
Give more example of the words without downloading it.
Room for improvement
It is very helpful
Excellent App
excellent app
Great apps
useful
Not for those completely new to the language. Don't expect instant literal translations for media such as books or manga. But it's a great help for those who want to polish up their kana skills and are having trouble with them pesky kanji. Great app overall. Can be a bit wonky with character recognition at times. Still bought the feature though lol.
Excellent app. Very useful. I have used it practically every day here in Japan since it's release. It has made my life MUCH easier. Works offline. Kanji recognition works great. Instant translations of single kanji and compounds. MUCH faster and more practical than searching through multiple radicals when translating kanji with other apps or paper dictionaries. People and place name kanji translations, plus an integrated flashlight button that helps camera focus in low-light conditions, are now also included! This app is practically a necessity if you are a foreigner living in Japan, or just visiting. Still hoping for a manual focus option.
In camera OCR View the recommendations update so quickly that it is impossible to freeze frame them in time. There really needs to be a way to set the refresh rate for recognition, or else that feature is unusable. But thanks for developing this very powerful tool.
What I love: I can open the app directly from my image gallery via share to app. Something even Google translate doesn't do despite having good image text recognition. ** Feature request **: please add ability to copy recognized text to clipboard (whole sentence) so I can use the app for more than quick simple checks. Eg. as ocr to get the text for more in depth work with other apps / browser / email once I have it. Select more characters in yellow lookup mode and save history would be nice too.
Really awesome app. Sometimes it doesn't recognise particular drawn signs, no matter how thoroughly you draw them, but it's really nothing in comparison to excellent work and great database.
What happen after the update? In order for me to use gallery, I have to pay a fee. Why?? It wasn't like this before!!
I am a beginner at both Japanese and Kanjis. The handwriting recognition function has been very helpful in identifying unknown kanjis. Great job.
Every time I need help it's there for me
perfect application for study the japanese language
Help me so much. Thx
Very helpfull during travel to japan
Best of the best and complete
very useful app i love it
...or so it CAN be. I'm satisfied with this to keep me company with its kanji pad. But if it had a search history list, that would make Yomiwa the best JP dict anywhere! That, or multiple kanji suggestions. That's especially useful when there are more than one kanji but you're unsure if they form one meaning. More often than not, you will have to redraw (some more) when the search doesn't find the input multi kanji. Other than that, Yomiwa is by far the more advanced kanji dictionary in my list.
This app lets you draw in kanji you don't know, and it's quite easy to use. No adds get in the way, the meanings ate given in single AND dictionary form, AND it accepts kanji, romaji, and English. I almost never leave reviews, but I had to for this one. It's just that awesome.
I've been using this app for 2 years and it helps me well. I like this app. Thank you for your hard work programmer.
Crap app don't work for crap -_-
Next week i will buy full version.. amazing apps... great work team ! Nice idea for making apps like this !
I paid for the "live" feature, but vertical mode doesn't work as nicely as horizontal. Please fix immediately.
Instead of having to look up every single word in a dictionary I can now look up words while reading. Saves so much time! I even can make a wordlist related to one book for example. Very good, thanks for this app. I would love to see a feature that automatically extracts all the words on a page.
I used it during 2 weeks in Japan. It worked well with no issues.
Ya.great it's working beautifully. Nice work great.thanks who may make this app.
this is very very nice app
Really awesome concept, but it's picky with characters on the OCR feature. Sometimes a character is huge and clear but the app still can't recognize it. Probably worked for less than half of the text I tried it on. I downloaded this only for the OCR features so I am sure everything else is good
So far great. Picture reader/scanner works fine. I will update after a week of use.
Too many words that the dictionary doesn't know. I don't have any translation sometime.
Search is fast and flexible, UI is simple and easy to navigate, and the conjugations & example sentences are very helpful. とっても つきです!
Literally adore this app!!
Thought this was a free app

Keeps forgetting my purchases I love this app for studying but it keeps forgetting I bought the advanced features. When it messes up I have to restart. Still works better than anything else I've tried, so I'd really love to see this bug fixed. :)
