Kotoba dictionary for iPhone recognizes my handwriting

One of my favourite Japanese English dictionaries for my iPhone is the Kotoba dictionary.

One great feature  is the ability to input  handwritten kanji via the traditional Chinese keyboard.

Under settings – general – keyboard – Chinese traditional choose handwriting

Now when using the dictionary use the Chinese keyboard to input a “handwritten” kanji.

If your kanji skills are a bit poor, as mine are, it might take a few attempts, but finally the kanji you are looking for will pop up on the right(1)

Click the correct kanji which then appears in the search box (2), click the blue search button, and you can look up your kanji (3) :-)

楽しいですね！
