How do I set an english keyboard to type in Hiragana?
I know there’s a way to do it, I’ve done it before but I don’t remember how. I’ve set my language bar to Japanese and selected “Kana” but it’s only typing in Katakana. I vaguely remember typing phonetically in romanji and then having it convert to hiragana.
What OS are you using? I’m using Windows 7 and when my language bar is set to Japanese I can additionally switch between hiragana, katakana, and half-width katakana.
Here Koichi explains how to install the keyboard:

On a side note, did you ever hear back from Koichi about the Ipad thing?
Thanks guys!
I’m using the Windows 7 OS and for the keyboard settings I added the Japanese keyboard….but only after I switched it to the Japanese – Windows IME keyboard was I able to switch between katakana and hiragana.
Yes, I did hear back from Koichi on the issue of uploading new cards to Anki from the iPad and the short answer was that no, this capability is not available yet…you HAVE to add the cards from a desktop and THEN you can sync to all of your mobile devices. That didn’t help me much until I eventually received my desktop (which was stuck in my air shipment during my move to Japan) and now I’m back in business on Anki. It definitely would make things easier to be able to add new flash cards on the go though.
