Anyone know of a way to get word definitions while reading, like rikaichan, rikaisama, rikaikun on Android? I intend to use this while reading txt files [novels] and it helps enormously when not having to look up unknown words. I would be surprised if no one has developed something that could do this.
Using a chrome extension is out of the question because android's chrome doesnt support them yet. Firefox addons might work, but rikaichan is not supported yet. I heard of the rikai browser but there is no way to download the application anymore.
In the meantime I have been parsing the text files through http://www.rikai.com/perl/Home.pl which will generate an html file with definitions/readings which is pretty useful, but is a manual process. Additionally, for some reason (probably javascript issues) the definition popups are incredibly slow/do not work on chrome/firefox, but surprisingly work well on the default browser.
Now, I can read txt novels on my nexus 7 and touch an unknown word for a definition/reading popup. Its rather nice, but it would be great to get this on a browser.
It would be a godsend to get rikaisama on android, with its voice playback and japanese/japanese dictionary, but there are no plans for development on the platform.
