Pros

  • Learners who want pitch and name search
  • People whose Jisho result was thin
  • Readers who like example sentences

Cons

  • Jisho already answers your lookups
  • You needed hover lookup in pages
  • A third dictionary would become collecting

Jotoba is a free Japanese dictionary. It is strong on names, pitch accent, and example sentences.

Who it fits

It fits learners who already know Jisho and occasionally need a second result.

Limits

Do not make it a third homepage. Yomitan is still the in-page tool.
