en This is exactly what I want! Since I don't usually type japanese, I just use japanese to search product or songs sometime, so I don't want to add one more language to my windows input method. Neat and handy

Not worth getting unless you are just starting to learn Japanese unfortunately. You cannot type kanji!!! Why? I would like this a lot better if I didn't have to type like I don't know how to speak Japanese. I was looking for a good alternative to the Japanese IME for Windows, and this was as close as I could get, but I think this extension is truly for people who are just starting out with learning the language, not for native speakers or people who are fluent.
