Neat program


I found a neat little program on the internet. It converts simple Japanese characters into the more complex Kanji. I just type the Japanese word on my keyboard. If, for example, I type "neko" which is the word for cat (see first line in screenshot), it appears on the screen in simple Japanese characters (hiragana). I can then highlight the word and change it into Kanji. I was able to write a couple of emails to someone in Japan using this program. Of course you have to know Japanese to begin with.
