Question Japanese Writing Software - 04-08-2007, 03:29 AM

What types of programs are out there to type in Japanese (hiragan/katakana/kanji) i have been using NJStar which seems pretty good but would like to compare it to others.

どむありがとうございました。

Yes and how accurate are these softwares. Nothing worse then getting a tattoo of your wifes name in Kanji. Then when a Japanese person reads it bursts out in laughter because it says something totally different.

NJStar actually is about the same price. The one thing that I don't like about the ATLAS is that it does not have a dictionary. BUt thank you!!!
