JISHOP/Android

This is the homepage of the Android port of JISHOP, a Japanese/English kanji and compound word dictionary. JISHOP/Android employs the same dictionary database as the desktop version, and shares a good deal of functionality. It's a shareware product - for the first 30 days, it's fully functional, then the database becomes limited to the 1006 characters from the "Gakushū kanji" list. To remove the limitation, please purchase a permanent license.

Last update: April 24, 2012. Release 1.80.1. See the update history. JISHOP now supports local Android text-to-speech, but see this note.
