Cheers!

Hey there! Thanks for letting me know. I'm aware of this issue, but as far as I know, the data I'm using to back Akebi is still using the old 4-level JLPT format. I'll have to take a closer look into getting the data from another source, but I doubt that it will make it into the next version as I am very keen to get it released as soon as I can.

Hey there! Thanks for writing in. This is an interesting question because it concerns the way Akebi splits up the example sentences (which are just plain text) into multiple words. Previously, Akebi was using a custom splitting method I developed which took care of grammar patterns like this. In the new version of Akebi I've been busily working on, the sentences are split up using an algorithm developed over many years at a university in Japan. It is much more accurate, however things like "なければ" are considered their own word. So hopefully this should be fixed for you, since the dictionary contains a definition for words like "しまう" and "なければ". However, it does not define the "て" form of verbs. So perhaps that's something I can look into. Thanks!

Hi again, and sorry for the late reply. Sometimes my feedback service breaks and fails to send me an email.

That's an interesting idea you have there. But can I ask, why not just use the search by radical functionality? If you scroll to the right of the handwriting box, you can see all the radicals available, and you can pick the ones present in the kanji. Then Akebi will try to find the Kanji for you. I'm just not sure how useful it would be to be able to "import" radicals into the drawing area, since you can already use the radical search feature.

Hey there. Sorry about the conjugations being under development for so damn long. I've been very busy with adding a huge upgrade to Akebi. Hopefully it will get done soon so I can focus on adding this in. The purpose of saying "In development" is so that people are aware I know that I need to add it, so they don't submit it here ;) Thanks!

Hi there! This is a feature a few others have requested. I'm not sure how much space it will require, so I think it will be an optional add-in. Luckily I've got a bit of experience with the library that drives such "sentence analysis" (MeCab) while working on this new update, so hopefully I can make it happen! Thanks!

Hmmm, odd. Sorry about that! I'll give it a look over and see if I can find out why it failed. Cheers!

Hahaha!! Thanks for the really kind words, it means a lot to me! If you wish to donate, please donate to Wikipedia, Blender.org (my favourite FOSS program) or EDRDG (the people who make the database Akebi uses). Please let me know if you do, so I can add you to the list of contributors. Thanks!!

There should be a "change input method" option in your keyboard settings.

Huh, I've never heard of that notation before. I'll add it in, thanks!
