Japanese Dictionary for Palm/WinMo

16 December, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Having been both users of plam phones (treo 650/centro) and Windows Mobile phone (Treo Pro), having a good japanese dictionary is surely an important addition for those studying Japanese and needs a quick reference to those difficult kanji.

For Palm OS, I found that PADICT is quick, easy to use and more importantly free. You can also search for kanji by writing on your screen. However, the dictionary is not as comprehensive as I would love it to be, but it is good enough for most of my needs.

For WinMo, I have tried 3 japanese dictionaries:

  • EBpocket -> could not get the fonts working properly nor the dictionary to work
  • Declan Japanese Dictionary –>totally useless, don’t work at all, plus it needs a larger screen then my Treo Pro has

I finally settled on PocketDictionary, together with JapaneseInput, both are incredibly free.  Together they offer the  japanese/kanji input dictionary experience on Treo Pro for me so far. Further the dictionaries are based on the famous Jim Breen’s dictionary.
