Mac Japanese handwriting support

[Jason]

Does anyone know of any decent Japanese handwriting recognition software for Mac OS X? I know JEDict has it for kanji, but in my experience it's really horrible at actually recognizing even simple kanji (unless I'm doing something wrong). I'd really rather not have to boot into XP everytime I need to look up a kanji in a book I don't know if I don't have to. Thanks.

I don't find it's that bad if you know the stroke order...

But I usually find it's faster to just use the radical lookup.

Looks like the last one might work the best.

Much later.

I didn't think inkwell did Japanese, I remember trying. In any case it seems to have been quietly dropped in Leopard.

I was told of this Japanese program today.
Which unfortunately has been discontinued but does seem to have Leopard support.

Lot's of Japanese so good luck!

(I wish someone would license and implement Decuma for the Mac)
