Let's Talk about .. Google Japanese Language input

Today there's a lecture about "Google Japanese Language input(Google 日本語入力)". Actually, I don't (quite) understand what the speaker described because the whole lecture was in Japanese. So I just followed his slides and searched the internet myself.


He talked about the Google Japanese Language input. He described the algorithms inside this input.

Google Japanese Language input beta installer is here...
http://www.google.com/intl/ja
There's a program for inserting Japanese language transformation like IME that everyone is using.
Google is developing the Google Japanese Input by using automatically generate from texts on the web, which Google itself has ability to collect the data, as the method to make typing Japanese easy, especially Japanese name.
It's available for both PC(32-bit) and MAC.
They use TRIE algorithm and prefix algorithm to calculate the suggested result.

Moreover, user can send more vocabulary to Google Social dictionary to help them improve the Japanese dictionary.


Then, I tried to download and install it..
