ParkeNYU Posted April 30, 2020 at 12:07 AM Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 at 12:07 AM 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkeNYU Posted June 4, 2020 at 06:18 AM Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 at 06:18 AM 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted June 4, 2020 at 06:51 AM Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 at 06:51 AM 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkeNYU Posted June 4, 2020 at 07:53 PM Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 at 07:53 PM @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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted June 5, 2020 at 01:38 AM Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 at 01:38 AM Odd. It's on Playstore today, but I couldn't bring it up yesterday with any variations of tRime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcap Posted February 19, 2021 at 11:01 AM Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 at 11:01 AM @ParkeNYU How do you create IMEs on tRIME? Is it a similar process to making it on the PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkeNYU Posted February 20, 2021 at 05:56 PM Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 at 05:56 PM @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.

Nightcap Posted February 23, 2021 at 10:25 AM Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 at 10:25 AM Where do the files go on Android? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkeNYU Posted February 23, 2021 at 01:21 PM Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 at 01:21 PM 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkeNYU Posted March 11, 2021 at 04:33 PM Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 at 04:33 PM @Bobby DazzlerOne needn't necessarily learn Cantonese. This project is for those who do want to use Cantonese to communicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Dazzler Posted March 18, 2021 at 08:03 AM Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 at 08:03 AM Ou, it's very difficult to understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomsima Posted January 26, 2022 at 01:10 AM Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 at 01:10 AM Ive been trying to get this to work, as it looks pretty good fun to use. I've put the relevant files in the correct folder, but the keyboard just shuts itself (and reopens occasionally) every time I type an initial. I'm using trime 3.1.3, which I believe is the most up to date, tried fiddling around with switching things on and off, trying other schemas etc. but it's always the same result. Any ideas from people more knowledgeable about this great but less user friendly program? I've attached a screen capture to show what it looks like (not sure if there's a problem displaying mp4 on CF?) petal_20220126_010203.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
