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.

I love this extension, it's exactly what I needed. One small suggestion though. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but, when switching between katakana and hiragana, the text disappears. So if I want to type a sentence with both of them, I need to write in hiragana, then copy the sentence, then change to katakana, then paste the sentence and repeat. If it's possible to make it so that when you switch languages, the text doesn't disappear, then that would be great! Either way, this extension is awesome!

Found out how to type those small characters for you guys. For むっつ, for example, write it out like this: "muttsu." The two T's indicate the small っ, and if you need a small ゃ like in ちゃ, just type "cha" and it automatically does it. If anyone here uses wanikani, it's super similar to the way you type japanese there.
