"Aedict Reader Popup" is a convenient Android app that provides a floating window for analyzing Japanese text from your clipboard. Simply copy a sentence, and the app displays a popup that delivers translations and definitions of unfamiliar kanji without interrupting your reading experience. Ideal for browsing Japanese websites or reading novels, this tool enhances your understanding and enjoyment of the language. Note: It requires Aedict3 to be installed and may not work on all devices due to security settings.

Imagine yourself opening a Japanese web page in your favourite browser, or reading a Japanese novel in your favourite book reader. Suddenly, you encounter an unfamiliar kanji. No longer do you need to navigate your phone to the dictionary app, to translate that pesky kanji - just copy a Japanese sentence to a clipboard and watch a floating window as it pops up and analyses the copied text. The window floats over the browser/reader, allowing you to quickly look up unfamiliar kanji and then to continue reading, without being disturbed by switching to a translator app.
IF THE POPUP IS NOT SHOWN: some phones have built-in security mechanisms, preventing apps to create system-wide popup windows. For example some Huawei and Xiaomi phones. Please read http://aedict.eu/reader/faq.html for more details.
WARNING: Requires Aedict3 to be installed on the device. The Reader's integrated KanjiPad requires the Aedict KanjiPad Ext application to be installed on the device.
The app is in its infancy, please kindly mail me your feedback to further improve the app.
User reviews
Only reliably works with web pages longr other places where the stock Android select text menu is present. Developer email is no longer active. It does not recognize text copied to the clipboard, saying that no text was pasted to the clipboard. Other offerings from this developer are solid, this one is a disappointment.
It works again, hallelujah! Thanks so much for this Martin. This app has been instrumental in helping me learn the language, extremely convenient, would recommend to anyone that is learning Japanese.
