Description

SubRead Dictionary is a pop-up dictionary for Yomitan dictionaries. How to look up a word

  • Select a text in any app and choose "SubRead Dictionary" in the text selection menu.
  • Share a text to the app.
  • Send a word from SubRead Overlay.
The pop-up opens over the app. It shows each term at the start of the text, the longest term first, with the reading, the pitch accent, the frequency and a button for the audio. A tap on a character of the text looks up the text from that character. Dictionaries Import a Yomitan .zip file (format 3), for example JMdict, Jitendex, a pitch accent dictionary or a frequency list. The order of the dictionaries in the settings is their order in the pop-up. Audio
  • Local audio: choose the android.db file of the Local Audio Server for Yomitan. The app copies it into its folder.
  • Remote audio: optional and off by default. Give one URL per line, with {term} and {reading}. The default line is JapanesePod101. A Local Audio Server on your network also works.
Anki The "Anki" button of a term sends the term to SubRead Anki, which makes the card. Other apps Other apps can read the terms of a text through a content provider. Privacy Nothing leaves the device, except when a remote audio source is on. Then the word goes to that server.
