ParkeNYU 60 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Jyutcit, aka 粵(語反)切, requires only basic Cantonese literacy (69 common characters), the 26 keys of the English keyboard, and two keystrokes without tones (or three with tones) per character. Anyone possessing mild familiarity with Jyutping will easily locate the desired keys on the keyboard, and the more complex finals are laid out in an intuitive way (based on the official Jyutping order). Overall, this input is roughly twice as fast as Jyutping and easy to learn, with only a tiny sacrifice in accuracy compared to strict Jyutping spelling, although intelligent prediction sufficiently mitigates this minor concession. Think of it like a 'Double Jyutping', but better, cleaner, and more intuitive. Here is a one-page quick-start guide PDF—easy as 1-2(-3)! This IME uses RIME (中州韻輸入法), which is free for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. If you would like to download Jyutcit, just let me know! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ParkeNYU 60 Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Finally, the Android version (which runs on the tRime app) is here too (see updated original post). Download this package (instructions included) for the Android, Windows, MacOS, and Linux versions all in one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ycd9gpfyvpvc36v/jyutcit.zip?dl=0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
889 1,790 Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 I'm not bringing up any app called tRime on Google Playstore. EDIT: Turns out you go to the link in the first post, find where it says "支持 Windows XP SP3, Windows 7+, macOS 10.7+, Linux (IBus, Fcitx) 下載更多版本" then click on 下載更多版本 and scroll down till you find a direct download for the Android version. I don't download from those sorts of links so I don't know whether it works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ParkeNYU 60 Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 @889 I was able to get trime directly from the Google Playstore, so perhaps it's a regional thing? Search on the Google Playstore again for 'trime', but look for the result named 同文輸入法 by Rime.TW, whose logo is a 'ㄓ'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
889 1,790 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Odd. It's on Playstore today, but I couldn't bring it up yesterday with any variations of tRime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
New Members Nightcap 4 Posted February 19 New Members Report Share Posted February 19 @ParkeNYU How do you create IMEs on tRIME? Is it a similar process to making it on the PC? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ParkeNYU 60 Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 @Nightcap It's the same as creating a normal RIME IME, except you have an additional file called trime.custom.yaml which holds extra information, like keyboard displays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
New Members Nightcap 4 Posted February 23 New Members Report Share Posted February 23 Where do the files go on Android? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ParkeNYU 60 Posted February 23 Author Report Share Posted February 23 In the main Android file directory, there should be a folder named trime—just drop the files in there, then deploy from the app. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bobby Dazzler 1 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Why you need learn this language? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ParkeNYU 60 Posted March 11 Author Report Share Posted March 11 @Bobby DazzlerOne needn't necessarily learn Cantonese. This project is for those who do want to use Cantonese to communicate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
