"hiragana to kanji converter" Code Answer

unfortunatelly i do not know of a c# library. all i found involves importing some native libraries, like in this os thread: japanese to romaji with kakasi

if you are willing to do so, perhaps jwpce might help.

although this is implemented as a japanese text editor, it also contains a dictionary function (it actually contains a multitude of character lookup systems) that do what you want to do.

possibly you can compile the project and then import those lookup functionality? jpwce is licensed under gpl and you can download both a binary executable and source code directly available from the homepage.

[edit]

researching some more i stumbled over mozc at google code:

mozc is a japanese input method editor (ime) designed for multi-platform such as chromium os, windows, mac and linux. this open-source project originates from google japanese input.

(bsd license)

i have not looked into it myself yet, but it might be more what you are looking for as it does not have a full application "around it" but instead is intended to be used a library. just like you wanted.

they also link to a short video how the input looks like: http://www.google.co.jp/ime/

unfortunatelly, this still is c++, not .net but it might be a starting point.
