Dokusha reader - dictionary for the palm - free

[Steve Bildermann]

Dokusha (Japanese for reader) is an integrated Japanese text reader, Japanese-English dictionary, Kanji dictionary and study system for Palm Connected Organizers. It is aimed at English speakers learning the Japanese language. It is an ideal self-study tool which lets you do much of your language learning directly on the Palm device. And it's FREE.

I have this sucker on my PDA. It is useful to a certain extent. But if you take a test a lot the kanji that come up are really obscure. (This is not my opinion; I've asked Japanese folks to give it a look.) The "explore" function comes up with some really whacked pairings, too.

'Lo 'all-

I just wanted to add that I really enjoy using PADict for the PalmOS.. It's a freebie open source project that seems to have quite a bit of participation.

I'm very new to Japan and the PAdict has helped me out quite a lot. I kinda like to practice writing the kanji in it to see if my script is good enough for it to recongnize. It never is.

That said, I would welcome the opportunity to murder, then play around with the blood of any number of people of y'alls choosing in return for a street-level map of the Kansai (hanshin, best) area I can view over the PalmOS done in romanji (or, at least kana). Even jpgs would be fine. I don't have a scanner yet, so I am unable to try to scan any paper maps ($$) in to view with Repligo or whatever. Ideally, I'd even be able to use gps over it, but i'm not choosing right now, am begging.

Sorry for the rant. Anything digital that has no kanji would be fine, if it worked on my tungsten t|c.

(Yeah, and I know of that freebie garmin map of 'middle japan'... not enough detail.)
