Kiten is aJapaneseKanji learning tool and reference for theKDE Software Compilation, specifically, in thekdeedu package.[2] It also works as a Japanese-to-English and English-to-Japanesedictionary. The user can input words into a search box, and all related Kanji are returned with their meaning and part of speech. Kanji can be filtered by rarity and part of speech. A list of Kanji is also available which sorts characters by grade level and stroke number. Selecting one shows its Onyomi, Kunyomi, and meanings. Users can also add Kanji to their "learn list" and get simpleflashcard quizzes where the Kanji is displayed along with possible meanings to choose from.[3]
The program was available only for Linux operating systems, but with the beta release of KDE for Windows, it is now available on Microsoft Windows.[4]
