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)
LOL – how do we embed this onto our DESKTOP??? hahaha – this needs to be downloadable. I love it
Do you know how I can set up my samsung pixon 12 phone to text in korean?
@hae-mi
Very cool
This is great – I don’t have Korean on my keyboard, so I use this then cut and paste it into the document or email I’m working on. Brillinat! Thanks for creating!
It’s one of the coolest program ever!…I really hope to put this program into my phone (though it’s not possible cause it’s kyocera phone).
this is cool!!!
i love it!
hello i search “탐안리치빌” at google and found your blog^^
did you live there before??
do you like it? is it good / soso / bad?
i am thinking to live there or not
so hope you can give me some good imformation^^
thank you alot!!
No, this is my first time to be in Korea and yes, I absolutely LOVE it
Awsome program. I use it to correspond with a Korean friend reguarding some phrases in my Korean text book that I need clarified. Only thing I have not been able to type correctly in the program so far was “써요 and 있어요” they printed like”ㅅ서 and 잇ㅅ 어 요”.
Is learning Korean hard to do? I’m in doubt,learning Mandarin or Korean
They’re both hard (Chinese is hard to read while Korean is hard to speak) but both are rewarding ^^ I did Chinese for one year and Korean for the past 5 so I may be biased …
