UniDict (EN・繁・简・日・한) - Search 1 Learn 5 - Free
Hi everyone! 👋
I’d like to share an app I’ve been developing called UniDict (EN・繁・简・日・한).
UniDict is a free offline dictionary and language-learning app for English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
🔤 What makes it different?
You don't need to select the input or translation language. Just enter a word or phrase, and UniDict automatically searches and displays translations in all five languages at once.
For example:
你好 → Hi / 嗨 / 你好 / こんにちは / 안녕
You can also search using romanization. For example:
watashi → I 我 私; 僕; 俺 나; 저
This is especially convenient for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean because you can search even if you don't know how to type the native characters.
📚 Learning Mode
UniDict also includes a Learning Mode that randomly plays vocabulary based on CEFR levels (A1–C2).
You can also choose to study only words you've previously saved.
🎮 Game Mode
There are four types of vocabulary games:
- Multiple Choice
- Unscramble the Letters
- Spell It
- Speak It
You can choose the difficulty level, and each question is played aloud in the selected languages. You can replay the pronunciation, long-press an answer for a hint, or skip a question.
⚙️ Other features
- 🔊 Tap translations to hear pronunciation and 📋 copy words to clipboard
- ❤️ Save words to favorites
- 🔤 Optional romanization display
- 🔠 Adjustable text size
- 🌐 Select which languages to display
- 🔊 Voice playback settings
- 🗑️ Delete history and saved data
- 📱 Works completely offline
💡 Why did I make it?
I often encounter English, Traditional/Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean in my daily life. Whenever I used a traditional dictionary, I found it annoying to repeatedly select the input language and translation language.
I also wanted to see all the languages at the same time, use romanization to search, and have a way to randomly play vocabulary continuously for learning.
So I decided to build my own dictionary app.
It's still an ongoing project, and I'm currently also developing a version supporting English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German.
If you have any suggestions or feedback, I'd really appreciate hearing them!
Thanks for checking out UniDict and supporting the project! 🙏
