Ketsuin invokes the ancient art of Ninjutsu to manipulate the digital realm. Forget your physical keyboard， channel your chakra and weave the 12 Hand Signs (based on Naruto seals) to conjure text.
Powered by a YOLOX-Nano neural network running on ONNX Runtime Web, this project transforms your webcam into a Shinobi tool, detecting hand seals in real-time and forging them into words through a strict T9 Engine.
- Hand Sign Detection: Uses a lightweight YOLOX-Nano model via ONNX Runtime to detect 12 distinct hand signs.
- T9 Ninja Engine: Implements a strict T9 input system where each hand sign corresponds to a key on a traditional phone keypad.
- Reverse Mapping: Type manually to see the corresponding hand seal sequence dynamically displayed.
- Mobile Optimized: Fully responsive layout that works on desktop and mobile devices.
- Continuous Delete: Hold the "酉" sign to rapidly delete text.
- Continuous Cycle: Hold the "Boar" sign to rapidly cycle through candidates (300ms interval).
- Anti-Misinput: Intelligent stability delays (100ms for general keys, 40ms for Space) to prevent accidental clicks.
The input method uses the 12 hand signs (Rat, Ox, Tiger, etc.) mapped to the keys 1-9, *, 0, #.
