Kanji Yomi for Android
Kanji detector
Great idea, but it does not work on my DROID. When I scan a kanji the picture comes out corrupted. Needs some more work.
Very nice idea but needs some work. Has a Very hard time identifying kanji in poor lighting
Wish it worked more often. I agree the back button may not be the best for focus. If it clould have another touch button it would be easier to use.
Crashes before loading on Nexus 5 with Android M
Samsung galaxy s6 edge.
Kanji detector
Works occasionally but that's still quite impressive. Kanji OCR isn't easy.
Terrible interface makes the app almost unusable. 8(
Completely fails to focus or take photo on G1.
Yes, has limitations, but... What did you expect? Magic? it's japanese OCR... on your phone! And yes, it WORKS! I, for one, am enjoying this app.
Way too clunky and inaccurate to be of any use. Do it the old-fashioned way and use SKIP or radical lookup.
Seems to work. Wish it works offline tho. Partner with aedict would be awesome. -spica
needs work. totally luck if you can get the characters to exactly line up on the tiny target. requires tripod. clunky interface. unusable atm
Great idea, but the viewfinder is way to small and needs to be used up close, but then the phone creates a shadow and the kanji is unreadble on g1.
It recognizes kanji pretty well especially through handwriting but the web based lookup is down, rendering the app useless.
Seems to work decently on my Nexus One. But the viewfinder is not centered so i kind of have to guess where to aim.
Great app. I'd like to see support for multiple kanji (compounds). Please change the back key and keep updating. Thanks!
Great idea just needs to be able to id konji more accuratly. And the veiwfinder seems a little clunky
Seems to be getting a lot better at identifying kanji. Almost always gets it within two tries now.
Does not work. It needs to be worked on a loooooot, but will reinstall when n it works
I always have trouble with kanji so this my new bestfriend!! ━━━━(^∀^)━━━━!!!!
The back button needs to be changed. It worked about 10% of the time for me. I love it when it works. The turning the Droid's flash would be nice.
On my Moto Photon Q LTE the app just crashes the moment you try to open it.
Crashes my HTC droid incredible 4g immediately, sucks because only lite version works, which has very limited functionality. I need an app like this that WORKS.
Awesome idea, but needs polish. Doubt it'll work in real-world situations without better OCR. I'm sticking to handwriting recognition - for now.
Good idea for an app. Can you make it so you can search images that are already stored on your phone? ~Thanks
It sounded amazing. But... * The camera doesn't focus * I can't control the viewing area on my touch phone (Galaxy S2) * A 404 page keeps popping up * I hangs on "getting data..."
The OCR functionality is EXCELLENT. It works great! The app as a whole isn't really particularly usable, though. As a tech demo for NHOCR it's fantastic, but if you're thinking you can point this at a Japanese magazine and get a useful real time translation, you should probably move along
Good app, but major problem with dictionary used. Translates to Kana, not Romaji or phonetic. Google Translate failure.
...with my OG Droid, but always FCs on Droid 3. :-(
Works amazingly on N1. use flash and don't get too close when u take the pic. It would be l much better if u could copy kanji without going to website
Galaxy tab: Frame is low and right of center, prog saves from center. I guessed framing and it got wrong kanji. I used to use on ht03, etc.
Needs option to use flash. It doesn't work unless very well lit. Needs a better cropping control. Would be nice to OCR images.
Good idea, but never identifies the kanji correctly even using printed b/w kanji.
Dont work with note 2
Does not even open. *Galaxy S III.
Doesn't pick up kanji and text box too small anyway.
Does not see the kanji at all and focus point is so tiny that non blurry pics are impossible.
