I highly doubt that's true, based on my experience with Chinese pinyin IMEs.
A Japanese phonetic IME should have enough local context to guess which Kanji is correct. You type, then go back and quickly proofread later.
- donatj 10y agoIt's been about 10 years, but I used the IME in Windows 2k quite extensively. http://blog.gatunka.com/img/Convert3.gif http://blog.gatunka.com/img/Convert3.gif I recall this window strongly, with ~10 items in it being common. Playing with it now in OS X perhaps it's improved in recent years.
- smallnamespace 10y agoAgain just talking about my experience with Chinese, but the IME guessing quality has really improved markedly over the last decade. In fact, you can often just type initials for your entire sentence and the IME will guess correctly all the way through. It's like being able to type 'w a y u t?' and getting 'What are you up to?' filled in for you. I'm pretty sure Chinese is even more homophonic than Japanese, which is why I'd expect the Kanji inference to work better.
