Apple Widget For Those Who Can’t Write Kanji
Posted on 27. Aug, 2008 @ 2:04 pm by harvey in Language Views: 724
Here’s a Japanese Apple dashboard widget for people who forget how to write Kanji from time to time (everyone). The name of the widget is simply, 「漢字が書けな〜い！」, and means “I can’t write Kanji!” You can download Kanji ga Kakenai right from Apple Japan.
The widget is ridiculously simple. It’s just a text field with huge font. You type in the Kanji you were trying to remember how to write, and there it is in huge font so you can identify every stroke.
Deceptively simple… no… it really is simple… But it’s useful! I honestly use it a lot.
If you’ve got a Mac, and do Japanese input from time to time, check it out!
