Find unknown Japanese right where you see it, in your own handwriting.
No app switching and no need to know the reading. Draw a kanji as it appears, then check its meaning, reading, and stroke order.
- Handwriting and voice
- Korean and English meanings
- Offline lookup after setup
Translation gives you the answer. It cannot do the practice for you
You can use automatic translation day after day, but that alone will not build your Japanese reading skills
With Baro Japanese Dictionary,
looking closely at kanji, drawing them, and looking them up becomes a natural way to practice and helps what you learn stay with you
Keep reading.
Look it up in three steps.
Without leaving the screen where you met the kanji, three actions get you the meaning, the reading, and the stroke order.

Open it over any screen
