Best method for Japanese input Hello everyone, What's the best Japanese input method? I would like to use hiragana, because using romaji would only hurt me in the long run - Romaji is an approximation of Japanese phonetics. I'd like to hear what Japanese people or foreigners who have studied Japanese have to say about this. thanks!

Microsoft IME is really good but in recent time I have found that Google IME is very good too. You can download and install on your PC or use on line: http://www.google.com/inputtools/try/ You can type or "draw" hiragana or kanji

Excellent feedback from you guys. So, it seems Romaji input is preferred over Hiragana input, right? Because I've seen Japanese keyboards with the Hiragana on them, but I wasn't sure about what the most standard method was. I use Pinyin to type Chinese on the computer, which would be more or less the equivalent to Romaji. Thank you

¿Lo que preguntaste era cómo teclean cuando tecleamos? Por ejemplo, cuando escriben "こんにちは", ¿usamos la tecla que escribe con hiragana directamente, o "imput" con Roma-ji como "konnnichiha"? Si es así, yo, soy japonesa, uso la tecla de "Roma-ji", así que tecleo "ryouko" cuando escribo mi nombre. Espero que te he respondido bien.

Do you mean how to type Japanese on the computer? If so, then using the Microsoft IME for Japanese is the best option. Everyone types this way...I apologize in advance if I misunderstood your question. (^_^)
