Development of this project has continued on jp-dit-e.com (propiertary). This repository will remain open but will not be further developed. If you want to support me please go try JP-DIT-E.
A free web-based Japanese dictionary app designed to work well when embedded in Calibre.
- Tokenization: Extracts Japanese words from a provided text.
- Word Information:
- Meanings (JMDict)
- Pronunciation (JMDict+KanjiDict)
- Kanji meanings (KanjiDict)
- Machine Translation: Full sentence translations.
- Web Interface: Designed to run embedded on Calibre or a web browser.
This is a standard nextjs app, so you'll need node/npm. Then just run:
npm run dev
- Docker installed on your machine.
- Clone or download and extract the repository zip file.
docker build -t jpdit .docker run -p 3000:3000 jpdit- Open a web browser and go to
http://localhost:3000.
You can set to dark theme with the query param theme=dark, you can search for a word with q={WORD}, e.g:
http://localhost:3000/?theme=dark&q={word}
The first search may be quite slow since the dictionaries will be loaded to memory, subsequent searches should be much faster.
