e dou — the “Ikebukuro-ben” keyboard. Forgot a Japanese word? Find it with Pinyin, Zhuyin or English, then keep writing.
e dou is a standalone system keyboard for people learning Japanese. Type Japanese with romaji as usual. When you forget a word, tap えーと, find it using Chinese or English, and continue your sentence.
Learn as you type
• Find Japanese words using Pinyin, Zhuyin or English. Choose the input method you know.
• See kana readings above Japanese candidates.
• Get candidates for common typos and unfinished spellings, plus next-word suggestions after selecting Chinese text.
• Switch directly to Pinyin or Zhuyin when you want to write Chinese.
Translation and Japanese correction
Translation lets you type or speak in a language you know, translate with the TransHero translation engine, check the result and insert it into your current text field.
Japanese correction helps with missing particles and mixed kanji and kana. Suggestions include kana, a short meaning and a brief explanation of the changes. When an input has two reasonable meanings, compare the candidates and choose what you meant.
Free typing and cloud features
Everyday typing, local word assistance and kana readings work without signing in. Translation and cloud correction require a Hero account and each include 10 free uses per day, resetting at midnight Japan time. Monthly, six-month and annual membership plans are available, along with one-time support purchases that add cloud uses. See the app and Apple's purchase screen for current prices and benefits.
Choose English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese for the interface.
Sharing samples for vocabulary and AI training requires separate, optional consent. Your choice does not affect basic typing or purchased benefits. Before using cloud features, you can review and agree to the text processing disclosure.
