About this app

Imagine yourself opening a Japanese web page in your favourite browser, or reading a Japanese novel in your favourite book reader. Suddenly, you encounter an unfamiliar kanji. No longer do you need to navigate your phone to the dictionary app, to translate that pesky kanji - just copy a Japanese sentence to a clipboard and watch a floating window as it pops up and analyses the copied text. The window floats over the browser/reader, allowing you to quickly look up unfamiliar kanji and then to continue reading, without being disturbed by switching to a translator app.

IF THE POPUP IS NOT SHOWN: some phones have built-in security mechanisms, preventing apps to create system-wide popup windows. For example some Huawei and Xiaomi phones. Please read http://aedict.eu/reader/faq.html for more details.

WARNING: Requires Aedict3 to be installed on the device. The Reader's integrated KanjiPad requires the Aedict KanjiPad Ext application to be installed on the device.

The app is in its infancy, please kindly mail me your feedback to further improve the app.

It was great for reading and getting an idea of kanji in texts. Unfortunately with Android 10, I know it can't read my clipboard while running, but since I can't paste words into it or access a contextual menu when reading in chrome or Firefox, it's kinda useless. I feel bad for purchasing this now as I can't do anything with it. I hope it can be fixed as it worked well before and looks good visually.

Unfortunately Android 10 no longer gives access to the clipboard. See https://mvysny.github.io/aedict-blog/reader-android-10/ for more details.
