Kaku VS yomichan

As for Android, I use kaku. GitHub link. From my experience it's very good and use Da kanji as a alternative.

sounds like a lot of steps just for one word. if you didn't know there is a fork of tachiyomi that has ocr built in, there's also Ocr Manga reader, kaku and it's also worth looking at mokuro

I've found this app for android (not sure if there is a newer version on their GitHub) that uses OCR (optical character recognition) to detect kanji within games and other apps and show their meanings.

Kaku: Japanese OCR Dictionary

You can install Yomichan in the Kiwi browser on mobile. I do that and it works quite well. If you need something similar outside of a browser, you can use the context menu search (highlight and long-press a word) from Takoboto or Akebi (on Android--not sure about iOS). For text that's not highlightable, I use Kaku OCR.

Not a translator, but the best dictionary would be Kaku: https://kaku.fuwafuwa.ca/

I also worked on a similar project to this before, also with the goal of reading manga (though, it works for pretty much anything on-screen in Android). You can check it out here: 0xbad1d3a5/Kaku: 画 - Japanese OCR Dictionary (github.com)

You read the schemas, usually it's enough for devs a waste of time asking r/LearnJapanese

I made a Yomichan dictionary from CantoDict, and there are other dictionaries linked made by other people I wanted to share.

I wish I would of known about Yomichan years ago, I can see a lot of work went into the project. Yes, for most web pages a Chrome extension should be able to get the sentence that the word came from. The relevant code for Yomichan might be from this page https://github.com/FooSoft/yomichan/blob/master/ext/js/app/frontend.js

You can use mokuro on any manga you have in digital form to turn the text into selectable text and read it in a PDF reader of your choice. You can then combine this with the Yomichan browser extension and dictionaries of your choice to allow you to instantly look up any unknown word you encounter when reading manga, with a single button press.

Download kiwi browser, after that go to extensions, and download yomichan. Download the dictionaries (they can be use offline). Finally, go to the site https://ttu-ebook.web.app (It can also be use offline), you can read any kind of epub file that you may have within your device. After setting up everything, you can read japanese with the fastest looks ups without using internet.

Capture2Text (I usually use this with games, manga, etc. in tandem with Yomichan's search page)

What I am looking for is something like this: https://foosoft.net/projects/yomichan/

You are not the first to miss this functionality: https://github.com/FooSoft/yomichan/issues/1987

Consider trying Yomichan. In the popup dictionary, click on the Kanji. If you scroll down, there are a bunch of reference numbers for different Kanji books and dictionaries (including Kodansha Compact Kanji Guide and Kodansha Kanji Dictionary).
