MozcConverter
MozcConverter is a component of the Mozc input method for macOS, which provides Japanese text input support including hiragana, katakana, kanji, and romaji-to-kana conversion. Mozc is an open-source Japanese input engine developed by Google, widely used by Japanese speakers on Mac for typing Japanese text in applications. MozcConverter specifically handles the conversion of Roman characters into Japanese characters as part of the broader Mozc input method system.

1 suggestionMozcConverter is not a standalone application but a component of the Mozc input method system. There is no way to update it separately — it is part of the larger Mozc input method bundle installed on your Mac. To check whether your Mozc installation includes a native Apple Silicon build, you will need to verify the architecture of the entire Mozc input method. If you have Mozc installed, open System Settings → Keyboard → Input Sources, find Mozc in the list, and check the Mozc project's official repository or release page (on GitHub at google.github.io/mozc) to see whether a native macOS build has been released. If the current Mozc build you have is Intel-only, you will need to reinstall Mozc from the latest release to get a native build. Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so any Intel-only input method will stop working on that release — ensuring you have a native build well before then is important for uninterrupted Japanese input support.
