Izumi - The Ultimate Total Input System for Japanese
ID=9
Feb. 26, 1997 : Hirotaka JOE Ohkubo
"Izumi" is the total input system to input japanese text efficiently.
It consists of :
- "Ayumi", recognizes KATAKANAs and input HIRAGANA and KATAKANA.
- "Rakugaki", a fully customizable recognizer for single strokes,
best-fit for roman alphabets.
- "Niko-Niko", to input KANJIs by parts,
- a Pop-Up menu to input short sentenses.
- a keyboard for miscellous ISO-2022-JP symbols.
What you need :
- Newton
- Some Japanese font package
- A Dictionary package, to use "Niko-Niko"
Preparation:
Install Japanese font.
If the font is not the genuine mincho font, use SetFont package to configure Izumi.
Install "Tamoto" and assign Izumi to somewhere.
Usage:
(Try and find, or read the Japanese manual. Sorry!)
Bug(s):
Too quickly opening and closing Izumi it self, Ayumi module or symbol-pad
causes a error. It is harmless but please be kind.
