Some IMEs do this through a process called romanization, which is the transliteration of non-Latin language sounds into the Latin equivalents that most closely resemble them. In simpler words, an IME is an application that allows us to use Latin characters in order to type non-Latin characters. Using an input method is usually necessary for languages that have more graphemes than there are keys on the keyboard. Search query suggestions while the user is doing composition.Note: For the sake of simplicity only the keyboard has been mentioned in the following examples, but an IME can actually work with a number of input sources, such as drawing characters by hand with the mouse or with a Wacom tablet.Īn input method (or input method editor, commonly abbreviated as IME) is an operating system component or program that enables users to generate characters not natively available on their input devices by using sequences of characters (or mouse operations) that are natively available on their input devices. This example is a simple web search page which gives a user There are also proposed standards related to IME:ĪPI document for more information about possible use cases.įor other possible improvements for interacting with IME, please This specification introduces InputMethodContext interface. To solve the IME-related problems, this specification introducesĪn IME API that allows Web applications to interact with the IME. Interarcting with IME, such as detecting any UI overlap between However, Web applications can still run into difficulties While it is being composed in an associated IME.
