I always thought that most non-native speakers used a regular keyboard, and typed the reading of the Korean characters, and the computer converts it. That's how it works for typing in Japanese (and I assume Chinese as well). I believe the keyboard layout is called "Microsoft IME Standard" or some variant depending on the output language.
Example with Japanese typing: Literal typing "nihongo" on a regular keyboard, layout set to Japanese, would print にほんご, and then hitting Shift+Space to convert to kanji would make 日本語.
Now, I can't speak or read Korean, so I don't know what it sounds like, but I'd assume that a regular keyboard configured correctly would work in a similar way, and just have the readings typed in and converted on-screen? |
