Conversion Modes

Description

IME Toolbar Setting

One time conversion

All text entered is displayed in hiragana until the user presses the Spacebar. The entire string is converted to kanji at once.

Compound word first conversion

The hiragana string is first tested to see whether it is a legitimate compound word. This method is efficient for documents that contain a high proportion of compound nouns.

Automatic conversion

The hiragana string is converted to kanji as soon as the IME recognizes it as a legitimate phrase based on the dictionary.

No conversion

The kana string is not converted into a kanji string.
