Manji
On the surface, Manji is just a Japanese dictionary, but it can actually do more than that:
- Handwritten kanji recognition
- Image kanji extraction
- Kanji card
- Kanji quiz generated dynamically based on selected groups of kanji
Therotically, Manji is cross-platform since it is powered by Flutter, but since I want to maximize the elegance of its user experience and also because I am an Apple fanboy to some degree, I chose to focus on the iOS side. I have already forgotten when the last time was that I debugged and tested on Android but feel free if you want to make it work and optimize for Android.
Getting Started

git-lfsis used for storing the dictionary file. So make sure you have installedgit-lfs. - Clone this project and run
git-lfs fetch --allin the project root folder. - Create a service account.
- Fill up the credential as shown below and save it as
google_api_credentials.dartand move to Manji/lib/resource/.
