Pocket Sensei 2.1

Pocket Sensei 2.1 is released now. It has some bug fixes, but the biggest improvement is touch user interface support.

To see it in full screen in Nokia 5800XM, please install midlet from JAD file. Otherwise virtual keypad will fill the half of the screen.

Pocket Sensei 2.0: words

New Pocket Sensei version has quiz for words. It contains more than 6000 most common japanese words which are needed for levels 4 to 1 in JLPT (japanese language proficiency test).

Both kanji and word quiz are flashcards now. First press down to see the answer. Then right if answer was correct or left if it was incorrect.

Pocket Kanji 1.4

New Pocket Kanji is released soon after the previous one. The reason was that some English words like "hand" or "house" got too many matches in Japanese words (thanks for Jab noticing that). Now you can add dot "." at the end of word to force it to be in English. For example "house." returns only words that has meaning house.

Some bugs are corrected in word search and radical form also.

Pocket Kanji 1.3

Touch phones has become more and more popular recently. Pocket Kanji is now updated to support touch buttons. All components in Pocket Kanji react to push.

Japanese word conversion is improved too. Romaji doesn't need to be complete anymore to be recognized as a japanese word. Dictionary shows all words starting with that strings. For example, "tenk" gets words like "tenki" (てんき) and "tenka" (てんか).

Pocket Kanji Lite

Lot of phones cannot install midlets bigger than 1 megabyte. For that reason Pocket Kanji has now a "lite" version. Size is about 930kb so it fits to lot more devices (e.g. Nokia Series 40).

It has some limitations:

• 22,500 words
• 1,100 kanjis
• Font size is limited to 16 pixels

Both versions work with same registration key and they can be downloaded from same page: http://www.digitalfootmark.com/?pr=kanji.
