CLUSTER JAPANESE-OFFERS-DICTIONARY · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2013-09-29
Offline East Asian language learning apps
This cluster comprises mobile apps for learning Japanese and Korean offline, featuring flashcards, dictionaries, OCR for on-screen text, and handwriting recognition. Dated entries before the index begin in September 2013, then appear in August 2018 and February 2019, followed by three entries in 2022 (two in May, one in July). Yomiwa - Japanese Dictionary, Korean! - Learn Hangul & Speak, and Learn Japanese (Beginners) lead on traction signals, each with 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 13 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
