Japanese Word Processor and Dictionary software?

Postby JesterDev » April 12th, 2012 10:52 pm

I am trying to find a decent word processor that is free to use. Tried setting up word, but it's annoying having to hit enter after every word. I prefer to type in Kana only as I don't know much kanji. Even an online word processor will work. Already tried NJStar.

Also looking for some dictionary software, if there is any.

You don't have to hit enter after every word. Just keep typing. There aren't any spaces in Japanese, so the space bar is used to convert kana to kanji; but as long as you don't try to put spaces between the words, this won't happen. The underlining shows you which kana will be converted if you hit the space bar, but just ignore it and keep typing until you get to the end of the paragraph, and then hit enter to cancel the conversion.
