JittaKey is an innovative keyboard app that supports Japanese input more efficiently and intuitively. It adopts a unique Japanese keymap, allowing users familiar with Romaji input to use it smoothly without drastically changing their usual input method. By using JittaKey, you can reduce the number of keystrokes by approximately 20%, significantly shortening the time required to compose messages or documents. In addition, frequently used characters like the following can all be input with a single keystroke: ・Consonants in the “I” row (e.g., き [ki], し [shi], ち [chi]) ・Small vowels (ぁ, ぃ, ぅ, ぇ, ぉ) ・Nasal sound “ん”, small “っ”, and long vowel “ー” ・Contracted sounds (ゃ, ゅ, ょ) and Y-row characters (や, ゆ, よ) ・Other characters like を, わ, ゎ, ヴ, punctuation mark "。", hyphen "―", etc. With this, Japanese input becomes dramatically more efficient, offering a much more comfortable typing experience.
