JAccent: Japanese dict with AI Reviews

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!

JAccent 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!

Hi. I love your app! It’s one of the few out there that provide a convenient source for pitch accents of words. One thing that is needed though would be a distinguishing feature between Heiban and Odaka patterns. By not being able to distinguish them, it forces others to find another resource. Other than that, It’s one of the few and best resources out there for learning pitch accent.

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!

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.

Please please please read this review. I used to love JAccent and use it all the time. But since a recent update, JAccent won’t start unless connected to the internet. This makes it useless when offline. It also doesn’t seem to connect when on a phone call. Also, even with internet it takes 1-2 seconds to load, which is annoying when quickly trying to look up words.

Please remove the online connection on app load, or make it async/optional. There’s no need for an offline dictionary to require internet.

Studying Japanese pitch accents is definitely a niche market, so it’s a pleasant surprise to find a nice app for doing just that. The interface is simple, and works just like you’d expect. The icon is cute and just perfectly appropriate.

I paid for the ad-free experience — and just to thank the developer — right away.

Just a good dictionary for Japanese words honestly

JAccent is very useful and it has actual audio on the words instead of a robotish voice. it also has really good stroke order pictures for kanji. i really like JAccent! the only thing stopping me from giving five stars is JAccent doesn't give the pitch accent for a word when it has a particle on it. other than that, amazing!

Great pitch accent dictionary app!!!
