Settings button

Tapping this button displays detailed setting items.

• Auto Syllable Split (Default: ON)

This function automatically divides character strings (words) into syllable units. When the setting of this function is ON, double-byte spaces are automatically inserted for each character.

* For words like “しゃしん” and “じょうほう”, which use yo-on (拗音) combinations, the two characters of a yo-on (拗音) combination are counted as one character. For example, “しゃ　し　ん” is counted as three characters, and “じょ　う　ほ　う” is counted as four characters.

The setting you select is applied the next time you start up the app.

• Auto-Conversion

When Japanese is selected as the input language, kanji (漢字) input is converted to hiragana (ひらがな) or katakana (カタカナ).

The setting you select is applied the next time you start up the app.

* With Android, auto conversion is performed while online only.
