purple_hoodie Posted May 30, 2012 at 04:03 PM Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 at 04:03 PM Hi all, does anyone have a good suggestion for a Pinyin input method for Mac with Traditional Characters? I'm using OS X 10.6.8. Thanks! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feng Posted May 31, 2012 at 01:05 AM Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 at 01:05 AM Can you elaborate on what you dont like about the normal built in mac (traditional) pinyin input method ? it might help us understand your question a little better. ie Whats wrong with: "System Preferences -> Language & Text -> Input Sources -> Chinese traditional -> Pinyin - Traditional" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaokong Posted May 31, 2012 at 06:43 AM Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 at 06:43 AM QIM, both for simplified and traditional. Because its waaay better than the built-in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taibei Posted May 31, 2012 at 08:36 AM Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 at 08:36 AM If you don't like the built-in system (which has reportedly improved considerably over earlier versions), then go with QIM, which is now freeware. http://www.macqim.com/wordpress http://pinyin.info/news/2011/qim-becomes-freeware/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooironic Posted May 31, 2012 at 10:14 AM Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 at 10:14 AM I use 智能拼音. While not as predictive as Sogou pinyin, you can increase the the font to as large a font as you want. This is important to me as I hate squinting trying to read Chinese characters.

purple_hoodie Posted June 1, 2012 at 03:10 AM Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 at 03:10 AM Yeah the system standard input method is terrible, but QIM is great! Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Chuanzhang Posted June 11, 2012 at 10:44 PM Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 at 10:44 PM I use QIM for traditional and 搜狗拼音 for simplified. I also find 搜狗拼音 to be better in its predictions than all other input systems I've tried. Unfortunately, there is no traditional version right now, but last time I checked, they said they were working on a traditional version so it might be worth following or at least checking from time to time.
