kinput2
Kinput2 is an X window application to input Japanese text. It acts as a front-end for other applications that want kana-kanji conversion. When invoked, after some initialization (which will take about a few to 30 seconds depending on your machine) kinput2 waits quietly for a Japanese text input request from another client (i.e. no windows appear). When kinput2 receives a request, it pops up a window and starts conversion process. It sends the converted text back to the client when the text is fixed. Kinput2 has some big improvements over its predecessor, kinput, which was contributed to X11R4.
Current version: 3.1
