Description: Eclectus is a small Han character dictionary especially designed for learners of Chinese character based languages like Mandarin Chinese or Japanese.
Eclectus provides several features not found in traditional paper-based or electronic dictionaries: - Look-up on mouse selection, - Forgiving search and hints to graphically similar characters, - Quick-access radical table, - Component based search (aka multi-radical), - Handwriting recognition, - Stroke order information, - Audio, and - Character component trees.
Thanks.
I'm currently pretty busy with getting the whole app to a Qt-only environment. There are some other issues/features in the pipeline that should follow next.
So any new bigger feature probably needs a helping hand. But why don't you propose anything (mockup or such)! I'll be happy to discuss.
Hi, thanks for the ping. I fixed some small issues arising from changes to cjklib-0.3 and uploaded a package to the PPA for lucid. I haven't tried it yet, so feedback is appreciated.
There's a package for Karmic in above ppa. Just install by running
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cburgmer/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install eclectus

Hi chrisKA, I liked your app Eclectus. It seems to be helpful to learn Japanese and Chinese. When it will be avaliable to Kubuntu 10.04?

Would the debian package work on Kubuntu 9.10?
