Hanja Ink: Hanja Dictionary

Hanja Ink is a Korean Hanja dictionary with handwriting recognition. Hanja are the Chinese characters used in Korean (the same family as Japanese kanji and Chinese hanzi), and this app gives their Korean readings and meanings. Found a Hanja you can't read? Trace it with your finger and the candidates appear right away. Pick one to see its Korean meaning and reading, radical, stroke count, and the Hanja words that contain it, with definitions, all from the dictionary built into the app. ■ Look up by handwriting · The writing pad opens as soon as you launch the app. Each stroke is recognized as you finish it, and candidates are shown with their Korean meaning and reading. · Recognition runs on your phone. After a one-time download of the recognition model, handwriting lookup works without an internet connection. · Undo the last stroke, clear the pad, and adjust the pen width. ■ Write several characters to find a word · Tap a candidate to add it to the input line above; the pad clears for the next character. Keep writing to find multi-character words such as 學習. · If no word matches, you get the words that start with those characters and a link to each character's detail. ■ Look up from a photo · Take a photo of a book, textbook, document or sign, or pick one from your gallery, then select just the part you want recognized. · Recognized characters appear one by one as chips, so you can add only the ones you need. · Long-press a misread character to swap it for another candidate or rewrite it by hand. · You can also show the photo behind the writing pad and trace the characters. ■ Look up by reading, radical or stroke count · Type a Korean reading such as 학 to see characters like 學, or 학습 to find words like 學習. Pasting Hanja works too. · Pick from the 214 radicals, then narrow down by the remaining stroke count. · Choose a total stroke count to browse characters. ■ A dictionary inside the app · 27,825 characters: every Korean meaning and reading (by reading for characters with more than one), radical, residual strokes and total strokes · The 1,800 basic Hanja for education are marked · 238,099 Hanja words and 237,225 definition entries from Urimalsaem by the National Institute of Korean Language. Expand to see every sense. · Words without a linked definition show their reading and each character's meaning, with a link to Naver or Daum. · Dictionary lookups work offline. ■ Favorites and history · Save characters and words to separate favorite lists and add a note to each. · Export your favorites to a file and import them back, so you can move your list to a new phone. · Search history is kept separately for characters and words. ■ Copy and share · Copy or share a character or word to paste it into homework or a chat. · In another app, select Hanja text and tap "Find Hanja" in the text selection menu to look it up instantly.
