damn, 4 seconds a character That's exactly 15 characters a minute, about 3 words a minute bruh
@Sphragydonuxu2 жыл бұрын
But a single Kanji character can be a whole word. And Hiragana and Katakana are two letters per character. So much fewer key presses are needed. For example "I am wondering" - 15 letters is "〜かしら" - 4 characters.

It's about formality. Hand-writing information on paper was pretty common in China and Japan until computers and printers truly took hold in the 1990s/early 2000s.

Japanese words are usually only 1-2 characters each thought so i guess it's not that bad, and probably similar speed to neat handwriting. For example "This is a tree" (11 characters) is "これは木だ" in Japanese, only half the characters :) The question is how long it would take someine used to this machine to find the correct character.

@@Aircoookie oh, true. I've heard some Japanese charecters contract some words so it's only one character, therefore not that bad, lol. Someone very used to this can rival the fastest English keyboard typist. Thanks for telling me this :)

No, a lot of japanese keyboards I’ve seen use qwerty and just write in Romaji, then use the spacebar and Tab to select the recommended kana and kanji for what you typed. On smart phones, keyboards are a three by three key grid where you swipe one of four directions from each of the nine keys or tap on the keys. This method is direct kana typing, and the phone will then suggest kanji or katakana to replace the hiragana. There are japanese specific keyboards of course, and many places use them exclusively, but in my experience (limited) it’s mostly just qwerty that converts to japanese. You can download a japanese keyboard for your pc or phone for free through the device settings. I encourage you to try it out, it’s pretty fun.

Kanji is is chinese tho, japanese language is mixing, Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji(Rarely Romaji) In other words, The main signs he is using are Kanji(chinese) You can see the Hiragana block in the top right middle of the sheet. Havent seen Katakana on the sheet, but its mainly used to "translate" foreign words into japanese(without translating them, actually)... Eh, whatever, I hope that helped
