KanjiQuick is a Japanese-English dictionary and translation tool that provides a comprehensive coverage of Kanji and Jukugo. It includes an EDICT Reader for enhanced performance.

One of the best features of KanjiQuick is its comprehensive data set, which includes all the information found in Spahn/Hadamitzky's Japanese-English Character Dictionary. Using this data, users can input stroke number, radical, or a single kun or on reading of an unknown kanji, and the program will display all the relevant information, including readings, meanings (with detailed explanations in English or German), and compounds.
KanjiQuick also displays stroke orders for all jouyou kanji in an animated format, as well as information on character codes such as Unicode, JIS, Shift JIS, EUC, and more. Moreover, users can determine whether a kanji belongs to the jouyou group or one of the six kyouiku kanji grades and which grade it is given in the Japanese Language Proficiency Test.
In addition to its extensive kanji database, KanjiQuick offers a translation feature called Kanji Transer. It allows users to input Japanese text from programs such as MS Word documents or HTML documents from the internet, and the program will display lexical information on all the kanji and kanji compounds in the text in less than a minute. The program also provides the meanings for any compound and full information for any single kanji in the compound.
Another great feature of KanjiQuick is its database update service, which includes local and personal names. Plus, users can add or edit dictionary entries as needed.
KanjiQuick is linked to the EDICT Japanese-English dictionary data edited by Jim Breen, which boasts over 100,000 entries. The program has installation requirements of Windows 98/ME/2000/XP, with a file size (including data) of 39 MB. It will run on most PCs with at least 266 MHz CPU and 64 MB RAM, but a higher CPU speed and more RAM are recommended for best performance.
Finally, for users who want to take their Japanese language learning to the next level, KanjiQuick Voice (product no. 167697) is available. It has all the features of KanjiQuick and can read any Japanese text by a high-quality female voice. With the purchase of KanjiQuick Voice, users receive key codes for both KanjiQuick and for the program 'Voice of Japan' (product no. 168797).
