Galnet Dictionary vs Kanji draw
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Galnet Dictionary
The Galnet Dictionary is a Wordnet-based multilingual dictionary with translations and synonyms for 10 languages: Galician, Portuguese, Catalan, Basque, Spanish, English, German, Latin, Italian and Chinese (both Traditional and Simplified Chinese). This multilingual dictionary contains the Galnet lexical database (http://sli.uvigo.gal/galnet/) which is being developed by the Computational Linguistics Group at the University of Vigo (http://sli.uvigo.gal) and is available from 2011. The goal of the Galnet development is integrating the Galician language into the interlingual lexical-semantic network of WordNet (https://wordnet.princeton.edu), according the EuroWordNet model. Galnet is part of the Multilingual Central Repository (http://adimen.si.ehu.es/web/MCR) and the Open Multilingual Wordnet (http://compling.hss.ntu.edu.sg/iliomw/omw). Galnet contents can be searched with several web applications and can also be downloaded in RDF and LMF formats with a free license (http://sli.uvigo.gal/download/SLI_Galnet/).

Kanji draw
A simple application that lets you draw Japanese characters (kanji) using the touch screen. It is intended for Japanese language learners who might need to enter characters in order to look them up in a dictionary or enter them on a website. It identifies the character you have drawn using a special form of handwriting recognition. You can select the correct character from a list. After entering one or more characters, you can copy them into the clipboard as text for use in a dictionary. Note that this will NOT work - at all - if you don't know basically how to draw kanji. If you just draw something any old way that looks like it, it certainly won't be recognised. You have to draw characters basically the official way. This is a fork of the Kanji draw application from https://github.com/quen/kanjirecog/ which is no longer maintained and was removed from F-Droid. Two of the included icons were taken from the Android SDK and are licensed under the Apache License 2.0. The kanji stroke data is based on the KanjiVG data set from http://kanjivg.tagaini.net/ and licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license.
