Thank you for reviews, were very useful! I wanted to buy a Canon Wordtank G70 (I have the G55 model), but I found SR-E10000 at a very attractive price, so I bought it, but I consider selling it and get a Casio XD-D10000.
In the post where you compared G70 with SE-E10000, you wrote
“G70 has many more word variations that can be found in the normal word search as top entries, that the SR-E10000 has as subentries. For example, in the Japanese to English dictionary, looking up 手を合わせる would yield results in the G70, but draw a blank in the SR-E10000. To find variations of 手 in the Seiko model, you would have to click enter on the entry of 手 and scroll down”. How about Casio, do you know if it has word variations, as 手を上げる etc, can be found in normal word search as top entries?
Thank you

*snigger* I have zero plans to get a phone (I am a complete miser). I am working on my kana as fast as I can. Is it true you can buy a SD card loaded with more English user friendly dictionaries? I guess I will just wander Akihabara after I get a few paychecks and find one ^_^;; I do intend to learn Japanese seriously, I am just very bad at learning new alphabets and very good at picking up audio.

Thanks!

Welcome to Japan!

I’m sorry but the dictionaries that I’m familiar with aren’t really good for this purpose. I think you might be better off with a smartphone application geared for phrases and oral communication. There are tons of them out there now. I’m sure you have a phone or are about to get one if you just moved here, so that’s probably the best way for you to go!

And hit the books and memorize hiragana as quickly as you can!

Thanks,

Hi,

I just moved to Japan and am 99% illiterate so the complete lack of romaji is very intimidating. What dictionary would you recommend as I teach English and need to communicate with my fellow teachers. I guess my only requirement is that it has audio output so I can hear a word. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I thank you for your time and expertise.

Yours,

Han

Hello, I am in Science and Engineering. I am looking for a Japanese-English dictionary for the Android phone. It has been over a year since your posted this excellent article. Which one is the best these days? I tried the Wisdom but it lacks a lot of words that can be found even on the free JED. Thanks

Comment on Japanese Dictionary Review Series 1 – the Wisdom Japanese to English Dictionary by Michael Rogers

Hi. Nice review. I’m looking at Japanese dictionaries to load on my ipod touch. Wisdom 3.0.1 is available–but it costs $32–a little high. I just bought the ‘Japanese’ app for $12. And ‘kotoba’ was free. Still looking. But, my comment is about looking up ‘kusarigama’ in the Wisdom. I just looked it up in the Wisdom on my Canon S502 and it is there as the last example under ‘kusari’ [sickle]. But not as its own entry.
