The Vocabulary Browser has four parts:
The Kanji Detail Sidebar gives you an overview of each kanji in the selected word. You can learn more about the kanji by clicking the blue magnifying glass button which will search for it in the Kanji Browser.
As it's often important to be able to produce your own word lists to practice we've made it easy to build your own vocabulary sets. Clicking the + (plus) button in the bottom left corner of the window will create a new set. To add vocabulary just drag it in from another set. You can remove vocabulary from a set by selecting it and pressing the backspace key. Similarly you can delete the selected vocabulary set by selecting it and pressing backspace.
You can share vocabulary sets you've made with your friends or classmates simply by choosing a set and clicking the Share Set button in the toolbar. You can choose whether or not your own training progress is included in the set.
Clicking Import Set lets you load a set into iKanji created by another user or 3rd party application (if its in the correct format). iKanji uses the common CSV file format that is editable in many 3rd party tools including Excel and Numbers. If a set contains words not present in iKanji's database, the words will be added.
Click the + (plus) button beneath the Vocabulary List to add new word. The Add Vocab sheet will appear. Fill in the fields and optionally specify the classification (verb, noun, adjective etc).
Please note that each word must be unique (as specified in the Word field) - you can't duplicate an existing entry. The kana field and meaning can be the same as other words however.
If you're adding multiple words press the "Add Another" button instead of "Add Vocab". This will let you add multiple words more quickly.
You can edit words you've added to iKanji by double clicking on them in the Vocabulary List. You can't change a word itself once it's been added but the kana, meaning and classification are editable.
To delete a word you've added, switch to the All Vocabulary set, select the word to delete and press the backspace key. Note that you can't delete the built-in vocabulary. User added words are indicated by a person icon in the rightmost column of the Vocabulary List.
To search for a word simply type it into the search box in the top right corner of the window. You can also search by English meaning and kana reading.
You can sort the Vocabulary List by clicking any of the column headers.
