Talk:Japanese input method

message: I've created :Image:KB Japanese.svg. It was based on a JPEG version by another user, which was also unfinished. Some feedback might help me to improve it. I don't know if it could/should then be used in this article. —StuartBrady (Talk) 11:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, would a katakana version be worth creating? (It shouldn't take me long.) —StuartBrady (Talk) 11:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks good.  I don't think that both a hiragana and a katakana version is necessary, but an example keyboard would be a welcome addition to the article.  Please be sure to mention that it is just one of a number of various keyboard layouts (see a few different types above, or :ja:JISキーボード or :ja:新JIS配列 if you can read Japanese.  The first Japanese link is nice, since it explicitly shows one set of diffs located on the right side of the keyboard).  I don't know if I have ever seen a keyboard with the = sign above the 0 like your picture.  Is it a windows laptop?  Neier 12:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not really my picture — it is an SVG version of another user's work. I'll use one of the layouts at :ja:JISキーボード, but does it matter which one I use? (I can't read Japanese, so I'm deferring to those who can.) Thanks! —StuartBrady (Talk) 13:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You know, since this article is talking about the input methods, the various punctuation marks, etc, aren't really important anyway.  So, it doesn't matter to me which one — and, the original picture you posted is fine too.  I would shy away from the style in the second Japanese link above; but, anything that illustrates the placement of the syllables would be great! Neier 13:37, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure if this subject is addressed anywhere (I wouldn't be surprised if it is), but I've yet to come across it.
How do Japanese input methods functions as tools for say, the visually impaired? Particularly in reference to kana-kanji conversion, but also overall. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 150.208.204.39 (talk) 15:31, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

message: WHAT DOES EACH JAPANESE KEY SPECIFICALLY DO THAT DIFFERS FROM ENGLISH KEYBOARDS OR WHAT EACH ONE OF THEM ARE CALLED AND WHERE THEYRE PLACED?
ALL SO DO REAL JAPANESE PEOPLE USE IME'S?
LIKE HAVE IT UP ON THEIR SCREEN ALL THE TIME AND ALL THAT?
OR DO THEY JUST USE THE KEYBOARDS?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.186.100.173 (talk) 03:05, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You couldn't possibly type Japanese without one.  There's no way without some sort of software interface to distinguish between words like　鼻 and 花  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.19.88.88 (talk) 14:05, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You only really need one, the one that turns conversion on/off. I mapped it (like many other people without appropriate keys on their keyboard) to F12 because no application seems to do something useful with it. The other things you don't really need, while others, for example the handwriting recognition, are accessible from the UI. 82.139.87.165 (talk) 11:58, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
