Ole Posted November 15, 2010 at 06:26 PM Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 at 06:26 PM Scientists and APPLE-aficionados from the Language Technology Research Center at Harbin Institute for Technology have developed a new Pinyin-Input-System for the iPhone (Web Intelligence Input Method - WI输入法), which they wish to convince APPLE to incorporate in a future OS. Many users say, that this method is quicker and easier. see: article As everything is still under development you need a jailbroken iPhone to put it into action. Only for hackers: file-download. Anybody has more information or experience to share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creamyhorror Posted November 15, 2010 at 07:28 PM Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 at 07:28 PM Sounds like a PC-style adaptive IME, which is great. Basically Sogou/Google Pinyin for the iPhone. My phone is jailbroken but I haven't manually installed Debian (.deb) packages like this one before. I'll let someone else try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted November 16, 2010 at 03:40 AM Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 at 03:40 AM Baidu IME is probably the best Chinese IME right now on the iPhone. You can download it by adding apt.weiphone.com/cydia as a source on Cydia and search for 百度输入法. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
