Handwriting Keyboard vs JittaKey

Write by hand. Type in your apps. Handwriting Keyboard lets you enter text with your finger or Apple Pencil in apps such as Messages, Mail, Safari, and Notes. Recognition runs entirely on your device, so the keyboard works offline. Full Access is not required. Your input is not transmitted, and the app does not collect data. IMPORTANT — SUPPORTED LANGUAGES Handwriting recognition supports U.S. English and Japanese only. Other languages, including British English, are not supported. HOW TO GET STARTED 1. Open the Handwriting Keyboard app and tap “Open Settings.” 2. Tap “Keyboards,” then enable English (US), Japanese, or both. Full Access is not required. 3. In a text field, touch and hold the keyboard switch key, then select Handwriting. When entering a password, iOS automatically switches to the system keyboard. If text is duplicated or does not appear correctly in an app with a custom text field, turn off Inline Input in Handwriting Keyboard settings.

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.
