Pros
- Phone users who want a dedicated dictionary
- People who look up words offline
- Learners who already have Jisho in the browser
Cons
- You only study on desktop in a browser
- You need hover lookup inside web pages
- A second dictionary will become collecting
Takoboto is a Japanese-English dictionary available on Android, iPhone and iPad, Kindle, and the web. Its downloadable apps work offline. It is built for lookup: search, inflections, and saved words.
Who it fits
It fits learners who look up Japanese on a phone and want something faster than a general search engine.
Limits
It is not Yomitan. It will not hover-define a news page. If desktop search is your whole lookup habit, Jisho is enough.
