great app! thnx!
You're welcome!!
I would like to be able to see 'kana' results before auto complete results.
It's a feature I've thought about adding before, but like everything else, I've just not had time to do it. Really sorry! Uni life can be really tough!
is there a way to read japanese wording? i am more interested in how to say it in japanese. thx
Hi there! Sorry, at the moment you need to have a basic understanding of Hiragana and Katakana for this app to be of much use!
When searching for a word capital letters aren't recognized. Mine and many keyboards out there auto capitalize the first letter.
Yeah, sorry about this. It's fixed in the new version I hope to release by the end of the year-ish. If you want to track progress, take a look at the change log above. Thanks for the report though!
Hi! This is pretty cool. Is it possible to have filters for what kind of word though (noun, verb, adjective, etc)...? I've found that to be a useful addition in other dictionaries, so it'd be cool.
It's a feature I want to add, I just haven't had time to add it in. Sorry :( Hopefully this holidays I can work on Akebi full-time again like I did during my last break.
Hi! This app is amazing! I really like your handwriting recognition tool for kanji, it is so useful when you don't know the stroke order! I have a few suggestions that may help:
- I really like you kanji list system, but I would like to be able to split the original lists (Jouyou or JLPT) into smaller blocks to learn more easily (with your flashcard system). Right now, I can make a custom list and add each Kanji one by one, but it is kind of tedious... A 'Select/Add several' would be nice (like make a long tap to enter 'select several' and then 'add selection to custom list').
- When searching a word, would it be nice to be able to minimize the 'auto-complete' section. As an example, when I search for 'tonari', the auto-complete section is pretty long, and the kana match appears quite far. (hope you get what I mean)
Thanks from the bottom of my heart for making this app free for us :-)
You're very welcome! Thanks for the feedback and the great ideas. Hopefully when I get time, I will be able to implement some of them! I understand what you mean about the auto-complete, it's far too big and bulky and it would be good to hide it!
I think a drop down option for the kanji grid would make things easier to access?
You're right, of course. People have requested this before, I just haven't had a chance to make it. Thanks for writing in!
why don't you make categories such as( Country name, rivers name etc etc). by the way the app is very good. regards
This is a feature I'd like to add, but it involves bringing in extension dictionaries. It's something for the future.
Really useful, helped me alot. I'd be very happy if you can add only stylus input option.
Hmm, that's definitely an idea I haven't heard of before. I'll add it to the list of stuff I have to do.
Dear Matthew, congrats and thanks a lot for developing such useful app! I am writing to ask if it is possible to update the reference numbers of Heisig to the last edition of the book (6th edition, 2011). Best regards and thanks again! :)
Hi there, this should be available in the next version of Akebi.
