Solomon — A compact input method

A consonant-first Japanese input inspired by Farsi letters — fewer symbols, clearer typing.

What it solves

Written Japanese mixes three systems (kanji, hiragana, katakana) which can make typing and reading messy. Solomon introduces a compact approach: a consonant-first input using a small set of Farsi-derived letters tailored for Japanese, reducing visual clutter and keystrokes.

Key features

Minimal alphabet

Only the essential consonant shapes — easy to learn, fast to type.

Context-aware

Smart mapping for kana combinations and common Japanese syllables.

Compact keyboard

Designed for mobile: fewer keys, larger hit targets, faster input.

Privacy-focused

No cloud processing by default — all transliteration happens locally.

How it works

  1. Type a consonant shape (based on simplified Farsi letters).
  2. Select vowel context when needed — only five vowels to choose from.
  3. System transliterates into kana/kanji candidates intelligently.

This approach reduces on-screen clutter and speeds up composition — especially for users comfortable with consonant-first alphabets.
