Jiten Japanese Dictionary [Online] vs OSS-Dict
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Jiten Japanese Dictionary [Online]
Jiten [Online] is a Japanese dictionary based on JMDict/Kanjidic This app essentially provides the same functionality as opening the https://jiten.obfusk.dev website in a web browser — but with some small advantages (like long press for tooltips). There is also a completely offline version — named simply "Jiten Japanese Dictionary" — which requires more storage space (and could be slower depending on your device and internet connection). You can install both at the same time if you want. Features: JMDict multilingual japanese dictionary • kanji, readings (romaji optional), meanings & more • meanings in english, dutch, german, french and/or spanish • pitch accent (from Wadoku) • browse by frequency/jlpt Kanji dictionary • readings (romaji optional), meanings (english), jmdict entries, radicals & more • search using SKIP codes • search by radical • handwritten kanji recognition • browse by frequency/level/jlpt/SKIP Example sentences (from Tatoeba) • with english, dutch, german, french and/or spanish translation • some with audio Stroke order • input a word or sentence and see how it's written Fine-grained search using regexes (regular expressions) • simple searches don't require knowledge of regexes • quick reference available • Dark mode • Search history (stored locally) • Use long press for tooltips: quickly see meanings and readings for kanji and words • Easily share and open jiten.obfusk.dev links • Convert romaji to hiragana and between hiragana and katakana No ads.

OSS-Dict
OSS-Dict is an offline dictionary reader. It is fork of Aard 2 with new Material design and updated features Features Lookup queries are punctuation, diacritics and case insensitive. Bookmarks and History Dictionary Management Article Appearance: add your custom style sheets Math: Mathematical formuals are scalable, styleable, beautiful on any screen Random Article Volume Buttons Navigation Fullscreen Mode Clipboard Auto-Paste External Link Sharing Network Access Requirement This app requires the INTERNET permission to function properly. However, this is NOT for accessing the internet. The app is an offline dictionary that works without an internet connection. The INTERNET permission is required because the app uses a local embedded web server (localhost/socket communication) to display dictionary content. On Android, socket communication requires the INTERNET permission even when only communicating locally. Please do not disable network access for this app in your device settings, as this will prevent the app from working correctly.
