• Sound out the words and type as you go, or type out familiar Romaji spellings.
CHOOSE
• Select the word or phrase you wish from a selectable list that automatically updates and refines your list from each letter you input into the Lingo app or from a list of direct kana conversions (such as hiragana or katakana).
