Do you know how to say "multivariable adaptive control" in Japanese? With this application you can immediately find the equivalent of 多変数適応制御.

At home, at work and on the go, translators, students and professionals will often encounter technical terms for which they need to quickly look up their Japanese or English translations.

This Japanese - English Comprehensive Technical Terms Dictionary, compiled by The CJK Dictionary Institute (CJKI) in Japan, covers all major scientific and technical fields and is the only application on any mobile platform that provides comprehensive coverage of technical terminology. This application, with a user interface in both Japanese and English, includes both English-Japanese and Japanese-English dictionaries that provide access to a total of approximately 1,000,000 technical entries.

While several Japanese-English general vocabulary dictionaries are available for the iPhone, there are few specialized dictionaries that meet the specific needs of professionals, translators and students, while those that are available are prohibitively expensive and of limited coverage. With this application, you get a database of technical terms with extensive coverage at your fingertips for a reasonable price.

Please note: This app contains translation equivalents for each term, not explanations of each terms meaning.

Pros and cons of Comp Tech Terms Dict (Jpn-Eng) app for iPhone and iPad

Comp Tech Terms Dict (Jpn-Eng) app good for

This dictionary help all of us to know the specific word that we can find at japanese day life too. As a designer, I can try to understand a little more the type of professions that exist only using this app. And as a japanese student I can learn terms to become fluent.
I was eager to try out this dictionary of technical terms, but after several months of use, I have found it to be somewhat lacking in scope and depth and look forward to further expansion of the content. Also, support of the landscape orientation for easier keyboard input and making this a universal app (adding a native iPad interface) would be a nice touch.

Some bad moments

Very helpful for all professionals across various field! I always depend on this app for technical terms that other dictionaries cant provide. Very helpful customer service too! Just to answer this review below, Im using iPhone 6S with iOS 9 and its working perfectly.
