"reading software" - mustaflex - 2009-04-04
Hi,
the reading feature of this website is really helpful but we need to be connected to internet to use it, i was wondering if there is an off line version of this feature, or a software which do the same thing.

rikaichan could be used offline i assume: http://www.polarcloud.com/rikaichan/
hit the enter key with a kanji highlighted and usually a kanji's 1st english reading is the Heisig reading

I have been wondering the same thing. Rickaichan will work offline, but I suppose only when viewing a web-page or archive offline. What I would go crazy for is something like Rikaichan that would work to read documents, especially Word or e-mail.

For email, rikai-chan works as a Thunderbird add-on too.

Daijirin and other dictionaries also have similar features.
They are not as easy to use as Rikai-chan, but they are not Edict. Their definitions are of far superior quality.
