New Japanese IME Has Come From The Origin Of Chinese Characters
Posted on December 18th, 2009 by Masaru IKEDA
Following Google’s Japanese IME (input method editor) newly introduced in the beginning of this month, the Japanese subsidiary of China’s largest website search portal Baidu[C] also introduced a new one for our language, which is named Baidu Type[J] (in beta).
By referring to the Japanese input method which has been adopted for cellphone handsets, Baidu has developed it with aiming at the user’s comfort when keying the Japanese language. As well as Google IME, Baidu Type also uses a bunch of the Japanese expressions accumulated on the blogosphere to gain the accuracy to convert the user’s pronunciation-based inputs to Japanese words exactly as he/she wants.
