:I have written some [[kana entry]] programs for various platforms. Maybe I should release these as GPL software. We're not all able to use Microsoft's Japanese [[IME]]. [[User:Ed Poor|-- Uncle Ed]] [[user talk:Ed Poor|(talk)]] June 29, 2005 22:48 (UTC)
:Japanese input is slower than English (or any alphabetic writing system), because it is a two-step (or in the best case, a 1.5-step) process, but it is not as much slower as you might think. And taking things a step further, I've seen some people in Japan sending e-mail from phones that apparently have very sophisticated predictive text input that probably makes it faster than T9 input. Japan was unquestionably late to the bandwagon of typing and word-processing, but that is more because the base level of technology required to even get started typing Japanese productively is higher. We're well past that point now. [[User:Adamrice|adamrice]] 30 June 2005 16:32 (UTC)
