Hello there,

It's been a while.

I can't seem to find a decent Japanese dictionary software out there.

I have Wenlin for Chinese, which is truly amazing.

But I can't seem to find the equivalent for Japanese.

I need software which allows stroke recognition.

As I already know a fair amount of Chinese 汉字 it shouldn't be too long to find the Japanese signification.

I have JWPce. It's useful for me sometimes. But I don't know if it will satisfy all your needs.

Thanks for your replies but I realize I wasn't clear.

By "software" I mean something which isn't online.

Also:

I'm not looking for some software to learn Japanese, but rather a dictionary.

Sorry if my request wasn't clear.

Thank you.

Then you want JWPce.  You can download it here.

Eien Ni Hen:

Thank you!

Does it have stroke recognition?

I would be hard pressed to find the meaning of a certain Kanji without stroke recognition.

Would it be possible for me to write the Chinese equivalent and copy/paste in that dictionary?

There is 2 Dictonnaries that came out on nintendo DS.
avoid the first one, take the second one (with the little rainbow on the cover).
I use it everytime and it's very complete. It's the best dictionnary I have.
It was made for japanese peoples, but it's still very usefull if you are a japanese learner.
If you have no japanese knowledge, it could be hard to use.
It's not as god as a real electronic dictionary, but it's largely cheaper.

You can buy this card on any game import sites.

I really like Jlookup. It's compatible with the EDICT dictionaries you can get from Breen's site.

Well as it turns out the Japanese Microsoft IME has an excellent stroke recognition system.

So good in fact, that I don't need anything else.

JQuick trans is also a very useful tool.
