Kanji lookup by radical? - sdntx - 2010-01-08
Are there any programs for the PC or itouch that can do kanji lookup by radical like the site http://jisho.org/kanji/radicals/ can? It's a great site, but sometimes there's no internet around :p
It would be nice if I had a mac -- I'd love to write a program like that for the itouch (assuming the data is freely available).

The iPod Touch/iPhone app ShinKanji has a radical lookup method I believe. As well as an awesome "draw" option that is 100x better than the native support.

The Microsoft IME has a function to look up by radicals. I only used it once but you just pick out of the list the main radical and then search through a list of kanji with it. It's definitely advisable if at all possible to pick a dictionary with written kanji look up support cos it just makes things so much faster if you need it.

JLookup and the basic windows xp/Vista/7 handwriting pad also provides look up by radical.

Some of the other functions of ShinKanji can also be tried out in another free app, ShinKanji-Lite. This used to be a useful application by itself, but vital features were removed in an "update".
Quote:As well as an awesome "draw" option that is 100x better than the native supportThey both have their good points. For example the ShinKanji version has a larger drawing area and is geared towards Japanese rather than Chinese. The native support on the other hand has a larger selection of characters and is more responsive (in ShinKanji, if you draw quickly the start of the stroke is missing).
