Electronic Dictionary Edition
Long-Awaited Electronic Edition Finally Released
In January 2007 Casio Computer has announced the release of the long-awaited Electronic Dictionary (ED) edition of Jack Halpern's The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary (KALD), which has enjoyed the praise of renowned scholars and learners throughout the world. Boasting the most advanced features in electronic dictionary technology, including a highly sensitive handwriting recognition search method, this dictionary goes on sale in March 2007.
This is the latest addition to KIT (Kanji Integrated Tools), a series of computer-edited dictionaries and other useful learning aids for the effective mastery of the Japanese script being widely used in Japanese language education because they are highly effective learning aids (about 100,000 copies).

A major feature of electronic dictionaries in general is the speed and facility with which entries can be looked up. But the convenience of this dictionary goes well beyond that -- for the first time, the world-renowned lookup system called SKIP, which has redefined the way learners look up kanji, is now available in electronic dictionary format.
► In-depth Character Meanings
An outstanding feature of this dictionary is its in-depth treatment of meaning. Detailed meanings, arranged in a logical manner, help the learner get a quick and full understanding of the important meanings of each character.
- Core Meaning
- Character Meaning

- The Radical Search method allows characters to be looked up by their traditional radicals.
- The Handwriting Recognition Search method allows the user to input characters by drawing them manually.
