Kanji Recognizer

The screen displays on-yomi and kun-yomi readings in katakana and hiragana, respectively. The application also indicates the JLPT level for each kanji. This application will be indispensable if you decide to start studying at a language school in Japan.

So today let's talk about Japanese learning software. There are many programs, especially commercial ones. But there are also free analogues, which are sometimes better than paid ones. In this article, I have tried to collect the most full list Japanese language learning software for different platforms.
First, I will list the programs for learning Japanese that I myself use:
WaKan (Wakan) is a free program for learning Japanese and Chinese. Works under Windows, includes a dictionary of hieroglyphs, combinations, text editor and many other useful features. There is a crack for this program.
Jwpce is another text editor for typing in Japanese. Actually the program is in English, but it's easy to use even if you don't know English. Although, Wakan is much more convenient.
Drill The Kanji is an online program for learning kanji and testing your knowledge. To use it, you need constant access to the Internet. Of course, the program interface on English language but it's free.
— This is an English-Japanese and Japanese-English dictionary program for Linux systems. Of course it's free. It is clear that gjiten will be useful to a very narrow circle of blog readers. Everything on the program's website is in Japanese. I didn't understand anything, maybe you'll have better luck.
JquickTrans is a Japanese language learning program that runs on Windows. There are many more interesting programs on the program website, some educational games for learning Japanese. For Windows.
Kana Sensei is an ancient program for learning hiragana, katakana and some kanji.
- a small program for learning hiragana and katakana. Works only on the Internet. Open the page following the link and after a while the program will start if your browser supports Java.
Kanji Gold - study program Japanese characters. Works under Windows.
Kanji Trainer Penpen is a free Japanese kanji learning game. Something like Tetris.
KanjiQuick is a kanji dictionary containing 6,500 Japanese characters and 47,000 combinations. Not bad, isn't it? Supports manual input of hieroglyphs. Works under Windows. I'm going to try this program.
Finally, yesterday our application became available for download in the Appstore. So, screenshots:
Our trendy pull-out menu
As an exercise, type words using the suggested katakana or hiragana characters:
There are 10 color pictures with hieroglyphs in this game.
If you click on the image, the meaning of the hieroglyph will open
The series is divided into 10, 100, 500, 1000 and 1878 hieroglyphs. Omikuji 10 has the same 10 characters as Anime Tarot. Check what you remember, hieroglyphs or still pictures.
If you click on a hieroglyph, its meaning will open:
check yourself
Repeat, memorize hieroglyphs, wherever you are. If you repeat at least every other day, you will soon be able to read Japanese texts without a dictionary.

The 20 basic lessons in the Tutorial are all you need to express yourself in Japanese at a basic level.
Example lesson:
After studying 20 lessons, you will become an advanced student, then in order to express your thoughts in advanced Japanese, you will need 63 magic phrases from the section structures.
Fill it up with your own words (it's convenient to copy from an online dictionary). So, in your dictionary there will be only the necessary words, and not all in a row.
You can fill in words, phrases, sentences. This is your notebook.
Learn to listen to Japanese by listening to the radio. The list includes music and talk stations. I can say that Amine Nfo the coolest
We have our own club
If you are ready to practice Japanese, make mistakes and learn, and are not blinded by “then it will be difficult to relearn”, register in our community. Over time you will have sempai and kouhai and language learning will become more fun. Senpai will help you and you will help your kouhai
The community site has a fierce anti-spam plugin, rejects every tenth, so if you can't register, send your request to add (there will be a text field for this), I will transfer you to the white list, and after a while try to register again. Or leave an email in that field, then I will register you manually.
RSS
Follow the updates right from the app so you don't miss anything.
The application is not about which of the three words corresponds to the picture with a strawberry, so it is only suitable for those who want to be able to speak, read and write Japanese. You can download it for free, then you will have access to Anime Tarot 10, Omikuji 10, Radio and RSS.
Registration in the Community is free for now, but I do not exclude the possibility that it will become paid. I like the idea of a closed club "only for insiders" in order to maintain its quality, but if we don't have trolls, spammers and other inadequacies, there will be no point in introducing paid access. In any case, existing users will not be affected by this if they were active or purchased the full version.
Full version costs only 8999r 1990r.
The application is called Hayabachi (早蜂). Download from itunes by reference (or https://site/go/888/).
Now the Japanese language has become even more accessible and you are one step away from understanding it!
