SubRead Dictionary

Pop-up dictionary for Android that reads Yomitan dictionaries, with local audio

A pop-up dictionary for Android that reads Yomitan dictionaries. Select a text in any app and choose "SubRead Dictionary" in the text selection menu, share a text to it, or send a word from SubRead Overlay. The pop-up opens over the app and shows each term at the start of the text, the longest first, with the reading, the pitch accent, the frequency, and a button for the audio. A tap on a character of the text looks up from there.

Nothing leaves the device, except when a remote audio source is on.

How to use it Import a dictionary: a Yomitan .zip (JMdict, Jitendex, a pitch accent dictionary, a frequency list). The app reads format 3. The order of the dictionaries in the settings is the order in the pop-up. Local audio, optional: choose the android.db of the Local Audio Server for Yomitan, the same file that AnkiConnect Android and Hoshi Reader use. The app copies it into its folder. Or push it there with adb; the settings show the folder. The order of the sources is a setting: jpod, jpod_alternate, nhk16, shinmeikai8, forvo. Remote audio, optional and off by default: one URL per line, with {term} and {reading}. A URL can answer with an audio file (JapanesePod101 is the default line), or with the JSON list of a Local Audio Server on the network: http://192.168.1.2:5050/?term={term}&reading={reading}. The remote sources come after the local ones. In the pop-up, "Play" plays the first source that has the word. A long press on "Play" lists every source.
