Recognizing Kanji

I find that the Henshall page a kanji.aule-browser.com works well with the Beta 9.05 dictionary page.

Once I recognize the kanji on the first page, I can see the double character expressions in Edict2 on the second page.

These 9 kanji, taken in order descending the Henshall page, will traverse the Edct2 dictionary:

    意    観      好    昭      情      送      到      貿       礼

The Henshall kanji page begins as follows:

and the second, the dictionary, follows in order as:

The dictionary look-up does require the RTE browser plugin from Tokyo's SCSK Corp at curl.com.

There will soon be pages linking directly into the dictionary just as I now have pages linked into  wiktionary.org.

Those pages will start as Henshall, Heisig, Jōyō and Tuttle kanji sets.

kanji buttons

There are a few Japanese kanji on the buttons of the beta 0.903 of the Double-Kanji dictionary at kanji.aule-browser.com.

Here is a screenshot with the new NAV buttons:

A new filter option will add expressions that are two Kanji plus a single Katakana or Hiragana character.

In a few days the new UI and functionality will be the full dictionary with Katakana and Hiragana (simply without the double-character filter selected.)

The last feature is about two days away: browsing each item with details in a larger format.

Edict2 J-E Dictionary

The Curl version of Edict2 is now testing on-line and as a desktop app (where it is very fast.)

Today added wildcard behavior for single kanji ( 来*) and behavior to roll backwards through the dictionary (the aim is no to have the dictionary in memory and to use no indices.)

Here is a snapshot of how things look today after a search on 遠来 :

From the scroll bar you can see we have about one "page" loaded.

The button bottom left rolls in the previous 2000 entries. Tomorrow: partial matches logic.
