Whether you’re studying Japanese or working on technical and medical translations, JEDict Lite helps. The lexicon it contains is appropriate for people with beginner and intermediate levels of Japanese, and is presented with an intuitive interface for ease of use. If you are stuck on a reading for a particular kanji you can use the pallet to write, then search and display the reading and related kanji and words. Also Japanese/English fonts are customizable making copy and paste into other docs useful.
The lexicon is drawn from the EDICT program at Monash University which has a long history in developing the resources. I have a print library containing many J-E E-J dictionaries, and some of them weigh several kilograms and are 20cm thick. I have the app versions of the same that cost in the hundreds. While larger lexicon of these are necessary for advanced translation, but despite the cost for those the interfaces are clunky. So JEDict lite is the extra handy little app.
It’s free so give it a go.
