Typing Japanese texts with computers is not as straightforward as western ones. East-Asian languages use very large sets of symbols which are called ideograms or hieroglyphs. Typing words which are consisted of thousands of symbols is a process which must pass some procedures into which Latin characters are converted into hieroglyphs. This application is designed to assist typing Japanese texts with standard keyboard without need of any other operating system component. It is meant to be used with Windows operating system environment. It allows entering text with Latin characters which automatically convert them into kana syllables.
