ATOK 2017
ATOK is a Japanese input method editor (IME) for macOS, developed by JustSystems. It allows users to input Japanese text in hiragana, katakana, and kanji using Roman characters or other input modes. ATOK is widely used by Japanese professionals, students, and home users in Japan and internationally who need reliable Japanese text input with advanced features like predictive conversion, custom dictionaries, and support for specialized terminology in fields such as medicine, law, and engineering. The 2017 edition was a later release in the ATOK product line before the developer shifted to newer versions.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionATOK 2017 is an older, Intel-only Japanese input method. JustSystems has continued to release newer versions of ATOK for macOS with native Apple Silicon support in more recent builds. If you need a native-running Japanese input method on an M-series Mac, contact JustSystems or check their official website to upgrade to the latest version of ATOK, which includes Apple Silicon compatibility. Alternatively, if you prefer a free option, macOS includes the built-in Japanese input methods (Hiragana, Katakana, Romaji) in System Settings, though these lack ATOK's advanced dictionary and conversion features. Google Japanese Input is also available as a free third-party IME with native Apple Silicon support.
