Hi All, I am new to this list, though certainly not new to the iPhone--I have used iOS devices since 2009. I am wondering if anyone here has had experience typing Japanese characters with the iPhone, and if so, I woudl appreciate any tips on how to accomplish this successfully. I am just beginning to learn Japanese, and have added both the ROmaji and Kana keyboards within my iPhone. I have also added Japanese to the VO language rotor.. I cannot, however, seem to figure out how to type efficiently. Whenever I try typing the English equivalents of a symbol within the hiragana alphabet using the ROmaji keyboard, I am always presented with a suggestions listbox with several different word options in it (I'm not sure if these are Hiragana or Konji characters). I'mnot always sure what to select, and how to go from this point. If I switch to the Kana keyboard, Voiceover does not speak several of the characters at all. If anyone has tips to offer, I would greatly appreciate it. ALso, because some of my confusion is most certainly due to my lack of familiarity with the Japanese language and may not be entirely iPHone specific, please feel free to write me of-list if you deem this most appropriate. Thanks very much in advance for any help! I am excited to be part of this list.
