Facts about Input Methods

  • The author of Flypy(http://www.flypy.com) is stingy about the double pinyin scheme they created – they haunt every developer of an input method which make Flypy available – either as preset or configurable afterwards – without their authorization.

  • Rime, GBoard, and MS IME seem not (yet) in trouble.

  • The author of Flypy criticized others’ approach to tackle zero-consonant characters(‘a’, ‘er’, ‘ou’, etc.) from their perspective. Flypy uses the first and the last letter of the syllable(‘ee’ for ‘e’, ‘ag’ for ‘ang’, etc.), while some others allocate a specific letter, say, ‘o’, for it.(That is, ‘oa’ for ‘a’, ‘ol’ for ‘ai’ for MS).

  • A family of double pinyin derives from Ziranma, with minor differences. MS and Sogou are among them.

  • Mozc could be configured using /usr/lib/mozc/mozc_tool --mode=config_dialog, where the input mode could be switched between Romaji and Kana.
