Features

• Chinese Text Input - Core engine that converts keyboard input into Chinese characters using phonetic and shape-based rules.
• Input Routing Schemas - Defines phonetic and shape-based input rules in YAML files to tailor keystroke translation behavior.
• Custom Input Method Builders - Enables users to design custom input methods by composing phonetic and shape-based rules in YAML files.
• Input Schema Switching - Allows users to switch between installed input schemas like Pinyin, Zhuyin, or Cangjie at runtime via hotkey.
• Input Scheme Switching - Switches between installed input schemas like Pinyin, Zhuyin, or Cangjie using a hotkey menu.
• Custom Input Method Designers - Allows creation of personalized typing systems by defining phonetic and shape-based rules in YAML files.
• Input Scheme Configurations - Edits YAML configuration files to change how input behaves and appears without recompiling the engine.
• Input Method Text Engines - Core engine library that translates keystrokes into Chinese characters using phonetic and shape-based rules.
• Phonetic Input Systems - Translates keystrokes into characters using phonetic mapping or shape-based decomposition rules defined in schemas.
• Phonetic Rule Typing - Translates keystrokes into Chinese characters using configurable phonetic and shape-based input rules.
• Translation Pipelines - Provides a modular processing chain that maps phonetic input strings to character candidates for Chinese text entry.
• YAML Configuration Schemas - Defines input method behavior and key mappings using external YAML configuration files without recompiling the engine.
• Input Method Schema Definitions - Allows custom input method behaviors and schemas to be defined through external YAML files without recompilation.
• Phonetic Spelling Algebra - Applies algebraic rules to rewrite input spellings for handling dialects and phonetic variants.
• Input Method Schema Systems - Creates new input methods by writing YAML-based schema files that specify translation rules and behavior.
• Input Processing Pipelines - Processes keystrokes through a chain of configurable translation modules that transform input into character candidates.
• Shape Based Input - Translates keystrokes into characters based on structural shape rules like Cangjie or Wubi.
• Multilingual Input Methods - Switches between input methods like Pinyin, Zhuyin, or Cangjie via hotkey menus for multilingual typing.
• Chinese Character Simplifiers - Converts between Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters using the OpenCC library with configurable mapping tables.
• Input Processing Engines - Modifies the open-source engine's source code to add features or fix input challenges.
• Engine Extensions - Modifies the open-source C++ engine to add new keystroke-processing capabilities or fix existing input challenges.
• Chorded Key Mappings - Supports simultaneous multi-key presses on standard keyboards to produce characters via chorded typing rules.
