Sweet. Just added a lot more stuff about CJKOS, mostly conflicts and suchlike. Added a couple more
headings for other people to fill out. Also added a note about the fact that CJKOS might be in
preferences if it was installed to the ROM.

Quote:

This can often come installed in the ROM (as opposed to the RAM), and there have been some people
who have had issues as they didn't realise this, and thus had two versions of CJKOS installed at
once.

That was me. Took me ages to figure that out . . .

Yeah, I figured I should mention that. Save some people the same aggravation

Added a note to clarify that you don't need any extra software to run plecodict, assuming that
that is all you are running.

The Windows Mobile section is still blank.

I only want to mention that I use CE-Star and I am happy.

The PenPower that ships with it is great too, it has 2 serious flaws, though.

1. It doesn't work well with traditional characters directly, in other words, you can enter
simplified and convert to traditional but many traditional characters are not recognised, even
when the option is made. For example, you can draw 学 and get 學 but you can't draw 學
directly. (You can also type "xue" to get either 学 or 學). This becomes very important, if you
don't know the simplified version or the reading of a traditional character.

2. They claim to fully support 2 languages - Chinese and Japanese.
What you can and what you CAN'T do with Japanese - you can enter Japanese words phonetically,
using Romaji, so if a word is in a dictionary, it will convert it. You can enter individual Kana
characters as well by using a soft keyboard. (You can even draw Hiragana/Katakana). These 2 are
done via CE-Star keyboards. However, you can't enter a Japanese specific character, even if
Japanese is selected in the option. It is strange because you can DRAW the Kana characters and the
promise for the full support of both Chinese and Japanese is not fulfilled.

I just want to make a short comment on the Mobile solution too. I use CEStar so my pda/phone can
read/display Chinese and while it works very well and I am happy with it over all it does cause
conflicts, most notably with Plecodict 2 and MS Reader, when using it as your sip. The benefits do
however outweigh the niggles. All I have to do is turn off CEStar as my sip and voila it
everything works well and I can have that running and use D-Ear input as my sip and all is ok.

Guys, this is a WIKI... Thus you should be editing the Wiki directly if you have useful
information, rather than posting it in the comments . Doesn't matter if it's full of spelling
mistakes or whatnot, someone will come along soon enough and fix it.
