Amazing kanji scan recognition – Yomiwa Japanese Dictionary Review

This app is getting 90% of what I'm shooting, which for me includes hand-brushed kanji from maps made hundreds of years ago. Pros: * you can easily set the scan zone. * you can freeze the image * app puts its reading of the kanji next to the image and highlights what it is identifying, so you can tell if it's seeing the image correctly. * app offers multiple meanings of kanji (essential) and variant versions * app will isolate several kanji in scan area and you can scroll from one to the next. * you can copy kanji to your clipboard (which I use to translate from Chinese to get possible alternative meanings or more literal translations). Kanji will vary because of the brush variances and the artistry of the calligrapher, so this won't be perfect. But my learning the kanji is now much more empowered.
