✨ Overview: WYSIWYG Japanese Input Revolution

JittaKey redefines the traditional romaji-based Japanese input method by offering a **WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get)** system.

• Input exactly as you see it (No conversion needed)
• Quickly adaptable for romaji-based users
• Reduces input time by about 20% or more
• Uses visual mnemonics for smoother learning

💻 JittaKey Input Principles

• Principle 1: WYSIWYG, meaning that every character displayed on the keyboard is input with one keystroke.
  Examples:
  あいうえお ぁぃぅぇぉ
  わやゆょ ゎゃゅょ
  んをｰっヴ
  きぎしじちぢにひびぴみり
  ゕゖ「」~^_^！、。？
• Principle 2: Romanized input is applied when ‘い consonants -きぎしじちぢにひびぴみり’ + vowels (あうえお) are entered in sequence.
  Examples: き + あ = か, き + う= く, き + え = け, き + お = こ
  り + あ = ら, り + う= る, り + え = れ, り + お = ろ
• Principle 3: When entering ‘い consonants’ + vowels (あいうえお), the consonant is decided as い or (sp), and then the vowels (あ,い,う,え,お) are entered.
  Examples: To enter きあ, type きいあ or き(sp)あ. To type きい, enter きいい or き(sp)い.
• Principle 4: Yōon (small vowel sounds) are independently input. This is completely different from combining yōon in Romaji input.
  Examples: きょう=き+ょ+う is entered as shown.
• Principle 5: JittaKey performs exceptionally well on mobile messengers like Line, Whatsapp, Kakaotalk, etc.
  Special characters “「 」 ~ ^_^ っ ！ 、 。 ？” can be input with a 0.2-second long press or shift+select method, without changing the keymap.
  Example: 「今日はいい天気で、よかった」んですね~~^_^！
  This allows the sentence above to be entered without changing the keymap.
  Not only does it improve speed, but it also reduces the ‘stress’ of having to switch keymaps every time special characters are needed, offering a more comfortable ‘messenger experience’.
• Based on these principles, JittaKey offers a 20% efficiency improvement over Romaji.
  For example, to type “おききします。” in Romaji, it’s entered as okikisimasu + change keymap to input “。”.
  However, with JittaKey, it’s entered as okksmasu。without changing the keymap.
  In terms of 'keystrokes', it is processed in 9 keystrokes, compared to 11 keystrokes + keymap change + 1 keystroke in Romaji.
• Others: Full-width and half-width Katakana, numbers, and English are perfectly implemented with WYSIWYG, so everything is input exactly as displayed.
