azooKey Desktop is a free, open-source Japanese input method for macOS that uses neural language models to improve text conversion. Built with Swift, it integrates the Zenzai neural engine to convert phonetic kana input into appropriate kanji and Japanese expressions. Its live conversion feature continuously updates suggestions as users type. A profile prompt system helps adapt conversion behavior to individual writing preferences. The application learns from previous input and supports custom dictionaries for frequently used vocabulary. Integration with the Tuner personalization system provides additional conversion customization. Optional LLM-powered Magic Conversions offer context-sensitive alternatives to conventional text conversion. It also supports AZIK keyboard input and integrates with macOS input source selection.
