About Tagaini Jisho

Tagaini Jisho is a free, open-source Japanese dictionary and kanji lookup tool that is available for Windows, MacOS X and Linux and aims at becoming your Japanese study assistant. It allows you to quickly search for entries and mark those that you wish to study, along with tags and personal notes. It also let you train entries you are studying and follows your progression in remembering them. Finally, it makes it easy to review entries you did not remember by listing them on screen or printing them on a small booklet.

Tagaini Jisho also features complete stroke order animations for more than 6000 kanjis.

Tagaini Jisho is still in early development - although the released versions can be considered as stable and even sometimes useful, many features are still to be added before it reaches a stable milestone.

Tagaini Jisho 0.2.2 update for Windows users

Thu, 06/18/2009 - 01:28 — Gnurou

An update to 0.2.2 has been released, that fixes an important issue that may make Tagaini unusable if installed under Program Files on Windows Vista. Installer files have been updated to this release tagged 0.2.2a. Vista users who met problems with previous version should upgrade - users who do not have any problem may wait until the next release.

You may head to the download page and re-install 0.2.2 to apply the fix.

Tagaini Jisho 0.2.2 released

Mon, 06/15/2009 - 03:25 — Gnurou

This release introduces a big change in the user interface. Search commands have been obsoleted in favor of more user-friendly search bar extenders that only occupy space when they are needed, and allow the user to fine-tune search parameters.

The building procedure has also been updated. Python and qmake are now used instead of scons, which ensures the project will build equally well on all supported platforms.

In addition, MacOS releases are now universal binaries (i.e. they support both Intel and PowerPC).

Tagaini Jisho 0.2.1a released

Sun, 04/05/2009 - 18:38 — Gnurou

An update to 0.2.1 has been released. It fixes a critical bug that leads to a crash when some entries are displayed, and also provides better ordering of definitions for non-english versions: definitions in the local language are displayed first.

Because of the bug fix, update is recommanded although no new feature is implemented, with apologies for the inconvenience.

Tagaini Jisho 0.2.1 released

Thu, 04/02/2009 - 16:49 — Gnurou

At long last, a new release of Tagaini!

Although not all planned features have been implemented (especially the preferences window which is still incomplete), this release took too much time so it is released as is. Missing features have been postponed to 0.2.2, and I plan to make releases more often from now even if all features are not implemented (after all, it's still a 0. series).
