The Arte Japanese input keyboard is an impressive keyboard app offering two fantastic typing options: 'Turn Flick Input' and 'Arte Roman Character Input.' 'Turn Flick Input' is an upgraded version of flick input, while 'Arte Roman Character Input' allows you to type Roman characters with just 12 keys. Additionally, the app includes traditional flick input and QWERTY Roman character input. With so many stylish typing choices available, users have plenty of options to choose from.

The app guarantees to enhance typing experience, regardless of proficiency in flick input. It provides four distinct keyboard layouts: Arte Roman Character Input, Keitai (which includes flick, toggle, and turn flick), QWERTY, and GODAN. The 'Arte Roman Character Input, QWERTY, GODAN' keyboard also allows for conversion of Japanese characters into alphabets (for example, changing あんｄろいｄ to Android).

The app offers a feature called 'Turn Flick Input' designed for those who are proficient in flick input. This feature allows users to input voiced sounds, semi-voiced sounds, diphthongs, and contracted sounds without having to lift their finger. However, if you are not familiar with Turn Flick, the app also provides regular flick input and recommends using a combination of regular flick and trim flick for voiced sounds. This ensures that everyone can easily find their preferred method of inputting text.

The application allows you to import a dictionary and manipulate the file. Additionally, there is a neat function that enables you to utilize Google API CGI for cloud conversion simply by pressing and holding the space key.

The app only requires permission to access your 'Images/Media/Files' in order to import/export your dictionary from Dropbox or other storage options. It will only request access to your 'Location Information' when verifying that you are a student in order to receive the free benefits. This special benefit is tailored for university, junior college, technical college, and high school students so they can utilize all features without purchasing the plugin.

The Arte Japanese Input Keyboard is compatible with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or later versions. If you have a phone or tablet running on that version or newer, you're all set!
