Practice texting in Korean online!
Those of you who’ve been following my blog for a long time know I’ve been working on a HUGE project called Hangeul Assistant over on the Korean Wiki Project. Up until now, the main things you can do are:
- Type Korean on ANY computer exactly like you would on a Korean computer (with a visual Keyboard which you can either click the keys or just view it as a reference while typing)
- Conjugate verbs
- See pronunciation changes
Well, now I’ve started working on the last main feature which has, up until now, been completely missing. What’s the last piece of the puzzle? You’ve guessed it, texting! Now, you can type in Korean using Hangeul Assistant just like you would on a Korean cellphone. Currently, only the “Sky” system is implemented, but I’m planning on including all cellphone systems in the future. I’d enjoy any feedback y’all have, especially if you’ve used a SKY phone and know that something needs to be fixed.
Try it below:
For more information, check out the Hangeul Assistant page over on the Korean Wiki Project!
omg this is the coolest thing ever! ^^ I’ve never typed on a korean phone before and this makes really great practice. Thanks for the effort and time spent on creating this (:
SKY is an amazing pad to use. I hated Samsung. I haven’t had the chance to try out Cyon. It looks nightmarish but some people have told me it’s really convenient. Guess I have to invest in a Cyon when I go back. It has the best alarm song ever though!
A youtube video is in order soon ^^
Great project. I’ve seen this in KC101 forum and I’m really amazed by it. I haven’t seen the texting option before so I guess the one I saw at KC101 is still in the early stages.
Btw, what type of texting system is this one?

Anycall?
Is it possible to embed it at wordpress not the self-hosted one?
Thanks Matt.
Yeah, it’s Anycall (which is a Samsung product).
If you’d like to embed it in your website, just click on ‘Embed’ on the Hangeul Assistant page and copy and paste that into a post or something as HTML (just click the button to edit HTML and paste it and you can switch out of HTML mode)
Do you know how I can set up my samsung pixon 12 phone to text in korean?
