is typed right.Prolog
The TUT-CODE(a high-speed Japanese typing method/their system name) was developed at Toyohashi University of Technology in early 80's.
There are many workers in office who feel little weak point at Japanese typing in business. Today, it is necessary to learn the how to treat word processor, worksheet program, internet browser and internet mailer. Many beginner typists always want to avoid typing job. And many common typists always feel stiff shoulder, stiff neck, hand strain, arm strain, backache for long time working.
I saw almost people who live in the English-speaking countries probably don't know Kanji, Kana, and Romaji. These words have been use in Japan for the Japanese language. The English language have basic 26 character set(called alphabet). However The Japanese language have more many character set.
"Kanji" was introduced from China before Kana. Kanji is the basic unit of the Japanese language. And Kanji can express meaning of each letters.
The common/standard kanji set(1945 characters,
called Joyo-kanji have been notified by Japanese government
since 1981.And in November 2010,196 characters were newly added and 5 characters
were deleted.As a result, the present common/standard kanji set are 2,136 characters.
ex. 亜哀愛相合会間・・・我割腕湾
More about other Kanji, there are too many kinds of characters including unused one.
"Kana"
is the basic unit of the Japanese language.
The kana is Kata-kana and hira-gana.
The katakana is older than the hiragana character.
Each character set is as follows.
(Since this, only a hiragana letter is explained.)
kata-kana
アイウエオカキクケコサシスセソタチツテト
ナニヌネノハヒフヘホマミムメモヤユヨラリ
ルレロワヰヱヲン
hira-gana
あいうえおかきくけこさしすせそたちつてと
なにぬねのはひふへほまみむめもヤユヨラリ
るれろわゐゑをん
Kana was made from Kanji for expressing sound in ancient time. The basic Kana-set consists of 48 characters. these are as follows.
Kana is usually used with following supplementary characters/function.
(1)voiced consonants. ex.「がぎぐげご」
(2)p-sounds in the Kana. ex.「ぱぴぷぺぽ」
(3)a double consonant. ex.「っ」
(4)contracted sounds. ex.「ゃゅょぁぃぅぇぉ」
Romaji was made by foreigner living in Japan for loan word. Kana can be expressed by Romaji using alphabet.
ex.
あ＝ａ い＝ｉ う＝ｕ え＝ｅ お＝ｏ
か＝ｋａ き＝ｋｉ く＝ｋｕ け＝ｋｅ こ＝ｋｏ
さ＝ｓａ し＝ｓｉ す＝ｓｕ せ＝ｓｅ そ＝ｓｏ
I explain the popular typing method for Kanji using Romaji in case of the 「光明」.
(1) type keys "ko u myo" using Romaji, and displayed 「こうみょう」.
(2) And next, touch the convert-key, for example first displayed one kanji 「高名」. But if it is not wishing Kanji, so try again.
(3) choose other kanji from list
. And 「光明」
is typed right.
The mentioned above, in Japanese language, Kanji have too many same sounds and
different Kanji. this is a big problem of Japanese typing.peculiarity of the Kana-Kanji conversion
using Romaji.
1) As the basic feature of Japanese version OS, is equipped.
2) Short period touch type basic-training, is only alphabet.
3) For the kanji to have to be chosen frequently, the load to the
brain is big.
In this site, I mention about the TUT-CODE, called direct-typing for Kanji. Skilled typists of TUT-CODE almost don't need to touch the conversion-key. Many common typists are confused to hear about TUT-CODE at first. But if beginner typist and common typists begin to lesson for TUT-CODE, they will be able to type smoothly better. Especially, in spite of beginner, they will be able to Kana typing only for few hours.
I saw the Kana-Kanji conversion is very useful function, and it is a Japanese original technology right. On the other hand, the TUT-CODE is one of direct-typing method for Kanji, and it can coexist with Kana-Kanji conversion. And they will keep on working with a Kanji training by TUT-CODE step by step. they will increase the average speed for typing.
If you want to step up on business, TUT-CODE will come up to your expectation. it is the productive technology for Japanese document, and anyone can do easily. If you practice moving fingers everyday, your will be the high grade skilled typist. lastly, When the foreigner uses the Japanese language too, TUT-CODE may be a very convenient way of the typing.
[1]There is an opinion that the 聖徳太子 (Shoutoku-taishi) became the motive power of the Kana character initiation. However, I don't judge that it is true or false. The point of the discussion is as follows.There is a book that might be his direct pen in horyu-temple.The issue by whether or not the book is genuine is being discussed.Therefore, This isn't decisive yet.
