Fujiten vs QDict
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Fujiten
Fujiten is an offline Japanese dictionary application made with the Flutter framework. Definition and kanji comes from the EDICT dictionary, compiled as a database from the edict_database project. Setup In order for fujiten to work, the Expression Database and the Kanji Database are needed. The databases can be downloaded and installed from fujiten via the "settings/databases" menu or by downloading the database manually from https://github.com/odrevet/edict_database. Top menu Bars Access the settings menu. The settings menu allows you to download the dictionaries, set brightness and read legal information. Insert Radicals <> Will match kanji composed with the selected radicals. Kanji character Ⓚ Will match any kanji. Kana character ㋐ Will match a hiragana/katakana character. Joker .* Any match. Convert In case your device is not equipped with a Japanese input keyboard, fujiten can convert Latin character (romaji) to hiragana or katakana. Lowercase romaji will be converted to hiragana, uppercase romaji will be converted to katakana. Kotoba / Kanji search When Kotoba is selected, fujiten will search for expression. When Kanji is selected, fujiten will search for kanji. Clear Clear the input field. Search Run the search. Tips • Search are performed with regular expression, quantifiers "{}" and meta-characters like "." and others can be used • Use search by radical < > when searching for an expression which you do not know a kanji but recognize some of its radicals example: ＜化＞ • When no results, add ".*" at the beginning or/and the end of your search
QDict
QDict support 3 ways to search: `Glob-style pattern matching`, `Fuzzy query` and `Full-text` search. Stardict dictionaries are not included in the application and should be obtained separately. Dictionaries should be placed in `/sdcard/QDict/dicts`. Each dictionary should be placed into a separate subfolder, for instance `/sdcard/QDict/dicts/dict-name`. It's recommended to only use alphanumeric filenames. This fork of [the original application](https://github.com/namndev/QDict) was created to incorporate patches, which were not responded to by the upstream and. The fork is not actively developed, i.e. no new features or bugfixes are planned, however, all PRs are welcome and will be reviewed.
