Dear Colleagues:

Some of you may already know of the existence of the web-based Digital 
Dictionary of Buddhism (DDB), and its companion work, the CJKV-E 
Dictionary, which is being compiled with a primary focus on terminology 
from Confucian and Daoist texts, along with detailed information on 
single ideographs, available at http://www.buddhism-dict-net . Now, both 
dictionaries are available for the smartphone through a slick new 
Android app named DDB Access, the only internet tool that I know of that 
is built specifically for scholars who are working with classical texts. 
Korean readings are provided in Hangeul, Revised Romanization, and 
McCune-Reischauer, and you also do quick lookup through any of these 
systems, as well as via Hanja ideographs and compounds. So if you have 
an Android phone, please give it a spin. (NB: Before you do a lookup, 
you need to "sign in" for full functionality--"guest" also works fine).

DDB Access "accesses" the basic DDB/CJKV-E search function of the web 
site, which is created and maintained by Michael Beddow.

Regards,

Chuck
