A Great Supplement
Anyone who is studying Japanese should consider purchasing this software. Most electronic dictionaries can run you close to $300 or more for a touch interface. While not as complete in terms of vocabulary, this software is still a bargain to beat all bargains. Even though I have an electronic dictionary, I still purchased this and use it frequently.

great dictionary
just draw the strokes on the touch screen and this dictionary will show you the right kanji for it with useful example phrases etc.
I use it almost everyday if I'm reading Japanese text or if I have to do homework. it's a very useful tool for people who learn Japanese!

A must for students doing self-study!
It's great if you see a Kanji you don't know. Although, it's sometimes challenging to figure out stroke order if you come across difficult Kanji. I generally use it all the time. It's good for practicing new Kanji you learn. I definitely recommend it for anyone learning Kanji.

extremely useful
though its not made for beginners in Japanese

i love that if i find a kanji i dont know i can just copy it down even though i don't know the stroke order and it'll tell me what it means. While it does its job as a dictionary, sometimes i wish it'd teach me the stroke order, but overall very good for what it's meant to do.

Japanese-English Dictionary on DS
It's much better than a book dictionary, simply write in English or Japanese and it will get the translation packed with cases of use and more.

Great software overall.

Excellent
This is a great language tool, but beware, do not get this if you're just starting Japanese study and know nothing about Japanese. If you know some obvious kanji, the difference between hiragana and katakana and some other various language need-to-know hows you'll fall in love with this product just like I did. Another plus is the pictochat expansion, but woe it is still not wi-fi.

Awesome dictionary!
This dictionary has it all! English, Japanese kana and kanji dictionaries. It is actually like several dictionaries in one. Understanding kana symbols is a must, but vocabulary and kanji knowledge are optional! No writing practice or games, just reference. I suggest you buy it with Kageyama Method - Dennou Hanpuku: Tadashii Kanji Kaki to Rikun if you are not yet skilled in Kanji.

Amazing
Bought this software 1 year ago and it comes in handy every day :) 10/5

great tool
Bought a ds lite just for this "game"

Instead of an expensive mini translator with pen input I gambled on ds lite and it worth the bet.

Highly recommended for learning japanese, however you must master english before since this is only japanese-english and japanese-japanese dictionary.

Pen input is awesome, almost never confuses the strokes.

Amazing
I'm not new to the Japanese language, per se, but I have very little knowledge of kanji, and this has been a huge help. Not only can you enter a word in English, getting results back in both hiragana (or in some cases katakana) and kanji alike, but you can also enter the words directly as hiragana or katakana. Furthermore, you can draw the kanji to search. This is incredibly helpful when reading a sentence and not knowing a kanji and it's meaning. However, if you don't at least have a basic understanding of stroke order, you may find the writing pad troublesome, as it may not recognize your kanji, even if it looks correct to you. For instance, if the katakana for "ro" is entered in the wrong order, it may not find it the first try. Luckily, stroke order is fairly easy to learn, and can be found in various places online, including Wikipedia. This program deserves a 5/5.
