ichi.moe is a Japanese transliteration and dictionary service. Users enter a Japanese sentence to see it written in Latin script/romaji and get dictionary definitions for the words in it. The site notes that it works even with conjugations, but proper nouns such as personal names and most place names do not work.
Jisho is an online Japanese-English dictionary. Users enter Japanese text or an English word to find words, kanji and example sentences. Search options include romaji conversion, wildcards, unit conversion, multiple additive search terms and hashtag filters such as verb, adjective and WaniKani levels.
Takoboto is a Japanese/English dictionary and Japanese language learning tool that searches words written in Japanese or English using kanji, kana, romaji or latin alphabets. Example sentences and kanji information are provided for each word. The dictionary data comes from JMDict, EDICT and KANJIDIC files, and a Takoboto app is available for download.

Pointing the mouse at any image on screen performs kanji and dictionary lookup at the same time, and both horizontal and vertical text are supported.
