Re: extracting words

 in the first grade Korean class). It would have been more appropriate
 if you had come up with an example from Japanese or Chinese where spaces
 are rarely used to separate words.

From Japanese, how about:

kokodehakimonowonuidekudasai

This could be

koko de hakimono wo nuide kudasai (take your shoes off here)

or

koko deha kimono wo nuide kudasai (take your clothes off here; in this case
"ha" is pronounced "wa")


Actually, this example was given at an AAMT meeting last year to show that
writing words in kanji + kana rather than just kana makes it easier for MT
software to break down strings into words accurately and therefore produce
better translations.

 Unless they hack it themselves, it seems unlikely. The Mac offers a Unicode
 keyboard, but unless an application decides to make it available it won't be
 active.

Just wondering, are there any Mac applications that do make the Unicode
keyboard available?
