I'm on a MacBook Pro 2021 with M1, running on MacOS Ventura 13.3.1 I tried to use text extraction feature of Preview, since I can't select text in Spotify and I wanted to search the song I'm listening. I selected the text by toggling Tools > Text Selection then pressing Command ⌘A ![screenshot on macOS of Preview app with text extraction not selecting every Japanese text ][1] As can be seen in image, it does not select every text in image. How can extract all the text from an image in Japanese on Preview?

I am evaluating some software that needs to use fonts. I need to specify the location of the font. The font I would like it to use is Osaka. A quick Google search suggests, "Osaka is the default Japanese font included in MacOS" which sounds plausible. When I specify the location of the fonts as: /System/Library/Fonts the software reports that it can't find Osaka there. And indeed, the file is not there! Nor is it in /Library/Fonts... and neither is it in ~/Library/Fonts. And a Finder search comes up dry. But in Font Book, I can find Osaka there with the collection of "System Fonts". ![Screenshot of the Font Book window showing a font named Osaka with the contextual menu and the 'Show in Finder' greyed out ][1] You can see that the "Show in Finder" command is greyed out. So the question is, **How can I refer to this Osaka font as a file?** Can I extract it from somewhere? I'm uncomfortable downloading it as the downloaded definition could clash with the built-in font. The system is macOS Ventura 13.6 Screenshot in response to request for clarifying information:

Windows' Japanese IME and and Google's Japanese IME both use Layout1 for Kana mode. However, macOS's Japanese IME uses Layout2. Notice the different locations for　ろ、む、へ, and some symbols. Is there any way to use Layout1 for macOS's Japanese IME? Layout1 Layout2

I have a JIS type keyboard but osx is recognizing it as ANSI Before you answer There is no "change keyboard type" button in keyboard settings there is no file named com.apple.keyboardtype.plist I have tried to manually open the keyboard setup wizard but when I click it nothing happens

I use speech-to-text to practice Japanese. When I say numbers in Japanese, it inputs Arabic numerals for the number parts of the words instead of kanji. For example, if I say "one" in Japanese, or "ichi", I get 1, but I want to get 一. Similarly "futari" gives me 2人 instead of 二人. Is there a way to set it up so that speech-to-text uses kanji for numbers?

I'm learning some Japanese on Duolingo and I feel like I could really benefit from actually typing out answers rather than picking them from a list. From what I gather around the internet (not an expert) the best way to do this is to use romaji to write out the English-phonetic version of what I'm trying to say, and then use Live Conversion to change it to kana (not entirely sure I'm even using all the right words here). Anyway, at this point I've activated the Japanese input source for romaji and can't seem to get the Live Conversion to do anything at all: Using the on-screen keyboard doesn't seem to change anything. **Am I missing a step?** Is this even the intended use of romaji input? I can't find a tutorial that uses Big Sur so I'm already sort of slanting my way into this, but push comes to shove it feels like something isn't working.

I used to be able to set the Menubar date/time to Japanese and the Gregorian calendar (e.g., using the Japanese character for days of week and am/pm), configuring it via the Date/Time panel in Settings, while still using English as my primary language. I'm on Big Sur now and it doesn't seem like it's possible to configure this anymore - even if I choose Japanese calendar, it still uses English for the date/time. Is there a way to do this anymore? Thanks!

For years, I've had no problem with using on a Microsoft Sculpt Mobile Keyboard as well as a Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000. I'm using a late 2011 MacBook Pro, OSX El Capitan v.10.11.3, (Bluetooth 4.0). _problem_: Starting about 3 weeks ago, sometimes I'd press a letter key, I'd let go of the pressed key, but OSX seemed to sense I was still holding the key down. This problem happened with *both* those keyboards. This problem *never* occurred while using the attached keyboard. Once the letter started uncontrollably repeating, I switched to the MacBook's attached keyboard. After about 1 second of frantically pressing esc while also using the trackpad to place the cursor behind the repeating text, the last character typed stopped repeating. I could continue typing on the Bluetooth keyboard as if nothing had happened. The problem would not occur again for days. ideas: - This problem has coincided with my *El Capitan* upgrade. - This problem definitely happens to me **while doing Japanese character input**. I'm not 100% sure that this has also happened to me while doing English input. - *El Capitan* has added new features with regard to Japanese character input. - Of course, the keymappings for the 2 MSFT Bluetooth keyboards are far apart from the unique / weird MacBook keyboard layout. They sure don't have *fn*, *control*, *option*, *command*, ... and the *command* key is used for Japanese input. So far, it has happened when I am typing in MSFT Word, MSFT Excel, a Chrome browser, and the NetBeans IDE. But not in any Apple apps. But, it only happens infrequently. It is annoying, but not the end of the world. Maybe just buy an Apple keyboard.

My keyboard looks like this I have just upgraded to Mojave and now osx will not recognize the proper keyboard layout and some characters do not match like @ and others. I have gone into keyboard preferences several times but osx doesnt have any options to change the layout.

How do I change the Japanese input tooltip dictionary from Jpn-Jpn to Jpn-Eng?

I use the Cangjie input method to type Chinese characters. The one bundled with macOS is an older "version" of the input method that I don't particularly enjoy using. So far I've been getting by with using a third-party IME (Rime) but for various reasons it's not ideal either. I know that Macs support custom plaintext *.cin files but I'm looking for something different. **I'm curious where and how default Chinese and Japanese input methods are stored in general.** Maybe a filepath, and if the file is in some esoteric format possibly external software to read/edit the data? My goal is to see if I can write a script to change the character mappings to the ones I'm accustomed to. Hope this question isn't too specific. If this is better suited for another StackExchange forum just give me a heads up and I can ask it somewhere else.

I use Chinese, Korean and Japanese keyboards on my iPhone, but I found out that some of Chinese and Japanese characters are not shown properly. For example, when I tried to type in (せいしん or jingshen), the conversion candidate on the top of the keyboards showed 精神, not the correct Chinese characters. I think the problem might be that I use Korean as the main language. But then is there any way to type in the correct word on Chinese and Japanese keyboards?

I've been using the Japanese keyboard layout for a while, but only recently I have noticed there are two options for the software keyboard layout, namely "Kana" and "Flick only". Can anybody tell me what the difference is, since they look and behave identical, as far as I can tell. This is on a 1st generation iPad running iOS 5.1.1.

I have been having an issue regarding keyboard short-cut to change input source between Japanese and English on a new iMac running on Sierra. On my old Mac, I used "command+space" (Fig. 1) to change the input source, but now on Sierra I have to use "control+space" (Fig. 2), which is quite inconvenient. Could someone help me how to set my system so that I can use "command+space" to change the input source?

I've run in Japanese input mode for 6 years now. I generally had no issues. Now with OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) I can no longer type a backslash. This means in order to use the Terminal I have to completely get out of Japanese input and switch it US input where as before Yosemite if I was in Romanji mode things just worked. How can I either (a) get it to work like it did before or (b) how do I type a backslash while in Japanese Input mode? Note: Backslash is used in the Terminal and when programming very often. I can't imagine there isn't some way to fix this otherwise Japanese programmers would be up in arms.

I have the Japanese keyboard enabled and am able to input hiragana and kanji fine, but I can find no way to input katakana. How can this be done?

How can I get ordinary kana layout instead of the sorted あいうえお? It's almost as annoying to use as writing English with the keys ordered like ABC. I need this instead: 

This is an obscure issue so I don't expect anyone to know a solution specific to my app. Rather I'm wondering if maybe there is some OS level option I can set. In any case, a Japanese keyboard does not have a backslash character. Back in the 80s the yen character occupied the same codepoint as the yen ¥ symbol so you'd just type that instead. Now of course with unicode both symbols exist and the yen key inserts ¥ by default. Apple's Japanese IME has an option to insert backslash instead of yen And so does Google's Japanese IME And this works everywhere except my text editing program. I've reported the issue but of course it could take them a while to fix it. As a short term solution they suggested recording a macro in the app that inserts a backslash and assigning it to the yen key which worked for editing text. Unfortunately it doesn't work for various dialogs in the app like the search and replace form where I type regular expressions and need to enter backslash often. In the meantime I wondering is there some other creative solution I can do at an OS level?

How do I get them back? They're neither in my Input Sources, nor can I find them if I try to add them.
