AMAZING Camera Lookup. Visual Pitch Accents. The new camera function is MARVELLOUS! Rather than scanning and doing a bulk translation (as Google Translate does), this app allows you to take a photo and then tap on each word to show it’s dictionary search results… It’s hard to explain without a screenshot, but this is perfect for allowing me to have a kind of “split screen” with my Japanese photo/text in the bottom half, and a live dictionary in the too half. I might try this on Japanese video games, by using the camera feature on dialogue text. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Every word in Japanese has a binary pitch accent measured in HIGHs and lows… and since many words share the same pronunciation, the pitch pattern discriminates the target meaning. The new update now includes this feature, so now I don’t need to look up pitch patterns on the internet anymore. Thank you!!!

Amazing app for Japanese Study I highly recommend this app! I've been using it for more than two years and it has been a game changers. It's designed well and has a lot of great features! I especially love the ability to save and organize vocabulary/example sentences into lists that I can go back review at anytime.
1.8.6 Version - Ugh!!! Is there a way to remove the SKIP function on the 1.8.6 release? I had the book years ago. Except for the vertical radial lookups, the horizontal and box lookups were/are confusing and absolutely un-useful. Having the extra function box on the top of Midori gets in the way of the stroke function which I use extensively. If you don't want to remove it, on the next release, can you move it to the far left so that I don't have to reach over it? Sorry, Mr. Halpern, otsukaresame, but your system isn't isn't useful (except for the vertical lookups). From a two-year user, I have rated Midori a five-star. Would revert if the SKIP function is removed.
