Japanese Input Method "ATOK"

Why do we need smart Japanese Input Method?

  • Japanese Input Method is a program that you can enter Japanese characters and symbols.
  • There are 3 Japanese characters, "Hiragana", "Katakana", "Kanji (Chinese characters)". Hiragana is converted to Kanji by Japanese Input Method.
  • One of the characteristic of Japanese language is an abundance of homonyms. However, it makes more complex to convert Hiragana into Kanji. That is why we need smart Japanese Input Method that can understand our Japanese more correctly.
