かわせみ2
かわせみ2 (Kawasemi 2) is a Japanese input method for macOS that provides phonetic romaji-to-kanji conversion. It allows Japanese users to type Japanese text by entering the Roman alphabet representation (romaji) of words, which the input method then converts to appropriate kanji and hiragana characters. The app integrates with the macOS Input Menu and is used primarily by Japanese speakers and learners who prefer romaji input over other Japanese input methods like Hiragana or kana-based approaches.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about かわせみ2's Apple Silicon support or development status. Input methods for macOS can be complex to port to native architectures, and older Japanese input tools in particular are sometimes no longer actively maintained. Given that today is May 2026 — approximately 27 months before Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028) — you should contact the developer directly to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned. If the developer confirms no native version is in development, consider switching to an actively maintained Japanese input method with confirmed Apple Silicon support, such as Google Japanese Input, Baidu Shurufa, or the built-in Hiragana/Kana input methods that ship with macOS itself, all of which run natively on M-series Macs.
