KanjiKey Keyboard

KanjiKey lets you type kanji by selecting their simpler components. Every kanji is made up of smaller pieces, and to type a kanji using KanjiKey, all you need to do is find a couple pieces that you recognize.

Typing kanji can be a real pain, whether you're just starting your Japanese studies or have been speaking it for years. The built-in Japanese keyboard is great if you know how to pronounce the word you're looking for, but if you can't type the word in hiragana, you're out of luck.

With this keyboard and a good dictionary (we recommend Nihongo: a modern Japanese dictionary), anything you see, you can read.
