JAccent: Japanese dict with AI

So i do still like this app for its availability of pitch accent information, though most of the quality of life/efficiency of use changes i hoped for in my first review are still lacking. Those being: lack of an option to have the Japanese swipe keyboard be the default and appear upon search bar entry; the search history not being accurate at all; the option for a search bar clear/reset upon each return to the app (shirabe jisho does this excellently). a new issue is actually that upon clearing the search bar, the keyboard disappears, requiring me to click on the search bar again. the AI was an odd but not unwelcome addition. though i don't find myself using it unless a word isn't in the app's database, in which case the AI usually can give me a definition. Still a 4 star app to me because of how much i use it, but it feels like a weak 4 with how sluggish using it can feel sometimes. Thank you to the developers, regardless! I know you guys are doing your best

The reviews said there wasn’t a robotic voice in the pronunciations but, this was not my experience. I downloaded this to work on sounding more native however, I ended up deleting it. You can hear a robotic sound on the tail end of the pronunciations. Also, the quick speed of the pronunciations may make it hard for beginners to train their ears to hear the pronunciations clearly if they want to continue to use this. It is a good idea and I hope the developers continue to work on it.

This app is incredibly helpful when studying Kanji. It shows you how to write and pronounce (with pitch accent) which is vital for reading and writing. However, the written search function can be a little peculiar with how you write the kanji when you search for it. Also, a setting to slow the writing directions just a little bit (like a scale) would be nice. Overall, incredibly helpful! 頑張る

Just a good dictionary for Japanese words honestly

I absolutely love using this in conjunction with Shirabe Jisho because the latter doesn't have pitch accent information available. However, Shirabe's interface is more fluid and convenient to use, and has more condensed, easily accessible information which is the reason I don't exclusively use JA Accent. I think JA could benefit from a few tweaks but otherwise it's extremely useful imo. One of the issues I come across is that whenever I switch back to it, I'm forced back into my English keyboard. I’d also love an option to immediately be able to input a search every time I switch back to JA Accent instead of having to click on the search bar, delete the previous entry, pick my JP keyboard again, and then enter the new search. It's a minor inconvenience, but it's one thing Shirabe has that makes looking something up quick and simple. I also love that the ads aren't too intrusive. So overall, a very good reference app that could be adjusted for absolute efficiency! (Time spent working around a dictionary is time taken from study!) Cheers, you guys~ Post 6 month edit: Still a good app but still patiently waiting for the option to have JA keyboards be the default!

Great for pitch accent. Great for stroke order of kanji. But the translations of the example sentences into English are often incomprehensible. But even with this laughable over sight. And because Japanese sentences are fine. I still give this dictionary 5 stars. This is one of the three dictionaries that I use. And this is the one I go to first!
