Software Features
"HanWJ
PinYin" is the familiar Pinyin method plus a few new creative features (use of
these features are not enforced):
| While inputing a single character or word, the
leftmost keyboard column can be used as Tone specifier keys, thus
reducing the amount of PinYin input candidates by 3/4. |
| Any occurance of "ng"
sequence can be simplified to just "g"(e.g., fang->fag,
liang->liag, kuang->kuag)**.
Any occurance of "iao" can be simplified as "io"(e.g., tiao->tio,
jiao->jio, xiao->xio).
Any occurance of "uang" can be simplified as "ug"(e.g., shuang->shug,
kuang->kug, guang->gug). This saves a lot of typing.
|
| During a word input, if the correct
candidate cannot be found, an innovative Word-Building Processer can be
activated through typing. It will analyze the already keyed-in character
sequence, and match the sub-sequences to corresponding smaller word or character,
eventually building up the word the user originally wants. The new word will
enter the user word-database automatically (imagine your reaction if you had
typed in numerous characters only to find no matching entry in the
word-database, and you had to start all over again?). |
| The five keys on the
right side of the keyboard can be used to specify the first, second, and last
strokes of the character (or the last character of a word), so as to efficiently narrow down
candidates (especially for single character). |
| HanWJ
supports both Simplified and Traditional outputs. The input engine in all of the "HanWangJian" methods innovatively uses Prefix-Match and
Fuzzy-Match (Edit-Distance, Dynamic Programming)-- resulting in a flexible
Chinese input method. HanWJ also supports various ShuangPin schemes. |
"XingMa" is similar
to WuBiZiXing [character is inputed by typing in building
blocks (ZiGen, or radicals) of the character]. The distribution of ZiGen for
"HanWangJian XingMa" is relatively easy to remember compared to other
input methods of the same type. And once remembered, it is difficult to forget.
Its input rule is natural, and the relative coding length is short; The input
speed, either by character, or by word, is speedy and efficient.
The HanWJ Chinese
Input Asistance Feature:(Word
Forecast) It utilizes an abundance of Word-for-Word dependencies
inherent in the Chinese language, projecting "Next Word or Sentence"
based on the input seen, thus increasing efficiency. In addition, prompts for
forecasted words never interfere with normal input as the forecasts can either
be used by pressing F8 or Alt+P or be ignored.
The
HanWJ Chinese Input Asistance Feature: (Find
a Saying) When hesitating when typing, trying to find the
right words to say, one can type Alt+S. It will activate the "Find A
Saying?dialog, where one can type a keyword and allow HanWJ to present
related typical phrases for one to choose and paste into the document. There are
countless "typical" phrases in the Chinese language (ie. classic or
poem phrases) that HanWJ has. Any typical Chinese phrase found in HanWJ's
collection does NOT imply endorsement of it in any way.
In Chinese software by HanWJ.com, you can type in Zi with toned-pinyin on top directly. As pinyin software, direct unicode pinyin Input is also supported. These're very useful in Chinese teaching.
In addition to powerful Chinese typing capabilities, Chinotes has incredible Chinese editing features including the ability of opening up six Finding- Phrases-in-Files view-area, Column-wise Selection, Second Clipboard,Multi-Window-Synchronous-View, and Global-Multi-File-Phrase-Replace.
** "ng" simplified to just "g"; this actually is based on a rule in original Chinese Pinyin Scheme: "(6)在给汉字注音的时候,为了使拼式简短,ng 可以省作 η". In English keyboard, "η" can be represented by "g" when typing pinyin.
One of the major innovations of HanWJ Pinyin is to simplify "ng" as just "g", so as to make typing a lot more convenient. We call for all Chinese Input Method Editor makers to use this method as well. Although HanWJ Chinese Input Engine
made this innovation first, it is not a patent. Every one can use this method.
