I'm a Mac user who is a Japanese. I usually type Japanese using Google IME which enables me to type it with predictive texts so that we can type it faster.

Phase Express is a great tool for use as a text expander. It is very customizable to what keystrokes invoke the words or phrases one wants to be entered on screen. It works with most programs and software, from document editors to web browsers and messengers. To disable predictive text, click the 3-bar icon, select 'Settings,' type 'predict' in the search bar on the Settings page, and remove the check in front of 'Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar.'

The closest things I've found to what you are looking for are this text editor experiment that you have to compile yourself. Text editor for mac os. Any time you type, no matter the app, the predictive text is there doing its thing. Using the app’s settings, you can even tame or scale the way it works.

Google IME
In terms of English, I can't find good tools such as IME and a text editor. Does anyone know of one?

Both would require you to type in their respective places and then paste into your application of choice, but I haven't found anything that works systemwide.
However, just to complete the answer, there is a IME type method built into TextEdit, that can be activated by hitting the ESCAPE key, so if you type 'beg' then the system will bring up a selection of words beginning with 'beg', thus:
However, the title of your question implies that you do not want to use that text editor. However, TextEdit is a system wide text entry mechanism so that particular functionality should be available in a number of text entry fields across the system.
Evernote has an autocomplete system, that relies on the the MAcOS autocomplete.
There is another method, using Emacs, which has an autocompletion mechanism. Again, though, it is tied to use within one particular application, although it is an extremely versatile application, if a little tricky to learn to use.
So, in summary, there appears to be no system-wide IME type functionality, apart rom the one built into OS X's TextEdit mechanism. To re-iterate the answer from Super User: you will have to type in a specific IME friendly application and then paste into your application of choice

You may want to try Sogou Pinyin, which is a Chinese input method but also has English mode with auto-completion feature

I developed an English Input Method for macOS.
https://pan.baidu.com/s/1jIxckfWDownload the pkg file and install it.
version 1.3:
-input freely in any application of macOS.
-select automatically completed words by number.
-select the first suggested word with the Space key.
-enter the characters you typed with the Enter key. (E.G. 'bea' in the example)
-remember user words automatically.
-support input space character automatically.

I wrote an input tool with autocompletion and spell-check feature, and instant translation (to Chinese, but you can replace the dictionary to let it translate English to Japanese) feature.

Apart from native support for text shortcuts, how can I enable autocomplete on Mac, presumably Cocoa applications? I mean autocomplete from dictionary or words previously used. Something like Samsung's input system has.
