This version is for those wanting to get their hands on this as soon as possible, and can tolerate some rough edges.
This is a version of Typhon with good E-Ink support, meaning text should be readable in most cases and there shouldn't be any white-on-black text.
This release should make reading EPUB files with Japanese text for Japanese learners a breeze. Simply click on a word to see its definition.
- You may need to click on adjacent characters to "feel around" for the longest, best-match phrase
- The correct definition may not be the first result; you should context clues to pick the best definition
- If you don't get any useful results, check ENamDict by scrolling the dictionary view over to the final column
...In other words, you need to use your brain, and that's a good thing!
Note that Typhon does not require Google Play. I tested this to work on Android 9 and 10.
