It's easier for me to read/write Romanji, then Kana, then Kanji (where
it honestly isn't easy for me do either).

Is there an automated system for Kanji <-> Kana translation anywhere
(assume computer encoding -- I'm not talking character recognition
here!).  I's like Kana <-> Romanji translation to go with that, but
could live without it.
