Japanese Pocket IME 2.0 (Compact 2013)
3/28/2014
Windows Embedded Compact supports the Japanese Pocket Input Method Editor (IME) version 2.0. An IME is a program that allows users to enter complex characters and symbols, such as Japanese Kanji characters, by using a standard keyboard. Pocket IME 2.0 is a small-size IME that can support embedded systems without keyboards that have small screens and a minimum memory footprint.
Pocket IME 2.0 can manage up to eight dictionaries. The following table lists the types of dictionaries that are supported in Pocket IME 2.0.
Dictionary type |

User dictionary |

Windows Embedded Compact provides one standard system dictionary file, imejpps.dic, and two add-on user dictionary files, imejppm.dic and imejppn.dic, for the Japanese Pocket IME 2.0. For more information, see Japanese Pocket IME Registry Settings for Multiple Dictionaries.
