IME

IME, or Input Method Editor, is a software tool that allows users to input text in languages that have complex characters or scripts, such as Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, using a standard keyboard. It converts keystrokes or phonetic inputs into the desired characters or symbols. For example, typing pinyin on a keyboard and selecting the appropriate Chinese characters from suggestions. IMEs help users efficiently communicate in different languages without needing specialized hardware, enabling seamless typing across diverse scripts on computers and mobile devices.
