What's the best utility for identifying kanji?


I often run into kanji that I don't recognize and need some way to translate
them into kana, so that I'm able to look up the meaning.

What's the most useful utility (in any form, web-based, application, iPhone
program, etc) for performing this task? Something where I can draw in the
kanji and have it identify it from that is probably best.




There are dozens of methods and approaches. Some you might have heard of are
"Bushu radical decomposition", "SKIP", stroke-reading (as you directly copy
the kanji).

<http://jisho.org/kanji/radicals/> is a pretty handy method if you're decent
at decomposing kanji into radicals.
