0001 **************************************** 0002 ** Kiten ** 0003 ** a Japanese reference tool ** 0004 **************************************** 0005 0006 Kiten comes ready to use. It will take a bit of time to 0007 start up the first time as it indexes your dictionary files. 0008 0009 Kiten is currently a set of 3 tools: 0010 1. Dictionary 0011 2. Radical Selector 0012 3. Kanji Browser 0013 0014 1. Dictionary 0015 Kiten works mainly as a Japanese -> English dictionary, but it 0016 works from English -> Japanese too. This means you can write in 0017 english, hiragana, katakana or kanji to search in the dictionaries. 0018 0019 If you have extra dictionaries in the correct formats, visit the "edict" and 0020 "kanjidic" configuration pages in: Settings -> Configure Kiten -> Dictionaries, 0021 and use the "Add" button. 0022 Then Kiten will search under all of these and display the results separately. 0023 0024 2. Radical Selector 0025 This tool helps you to find a kanji by just filtering its radicals. 0026 Only click on the buttons with the desired radicals and Radical Selector 0027 will find all the kanji that contains those radicals, this way you 0028 can find a kanji without knowing anything about its readings or meanings. 0029 Once you find the kanji you can just click on it and Kiten will 0030 automatically search for it in the dictionary*. 0031 0032 *You might need to enable "Automatically search clipboard selections" 0033 on the Settings menu. 0034 Alternatively you can select the kanji, click on "To clipboard" and 0035 paste it on the dictionary. 0036 0037 3. Kanji Browser 0038 You can browse all the kanji available in the KANJIDIC dictionary 0039 and be able to search by Grade and Number of strokes. 0040 By clicking on the kanji you can access detailed information such as 0041 stroke order, onyomi and kunyomi readings, meanings, grade and more. 0042 0043 Information about edict and kanjidic is available at the following urls: 0044 0045 EDICT 0046 Summary page: https://www.edrdg.org/jmdict/edict.html 0047 Full documentation: https://www.edrdg.org/wwwjdic/wwwjdicinf.html#dicfil_tag 0048 0049 KANJIDIC 0050 Full documentation: https://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/KANJIDIC_Project 0051 0052 Jim Breen compiled these fine files, so many thanks to him. 0053 The licenses for these two files can be found in the 0054 file LicenseRef-EDRDG.txt in the "LICENSES" directory. 0055 0056 -- 0057 Hope Kiten is useful to you! 0058 Jason Katz-Brown <jason@katzbrown.com> 0059 0060 (Edited to remove outdated information 6-21-06 - Joseph Kerian <jkerian@gmail.com>) 0061 (Edited to update information 8-21-11 - Daniel E.
