libkkc, a new Japanese Kana Kanji input library, will be available in Fedora 19, along with an IBus input method engine which uses libkkc as backend (ibus- kkc).
== Detailed description == There are currently two options for typical users to input Japanese sentences: ibus-anthy or ibus-mozc. However, both have issues:
* ibus-anthy - Anthy, the backend library, has been dead upstream for years. - The accuracy is not good because of bugs in the core algorithm of Anthy. * ibus-mozc - Contributions to the input method are limited to Google employees. - There are no library interface. That means it cannot easily be used by other input method frameworks than IBus, such as Fcitx and uim.
libkkc and ibus-kkc will be a better replacement of those.
