For me pinying is more easy than stroke just your Normal pronounce mandarin not correct then you type the wrong one lol .....exp 廁所 how you type ?

piyin couple with predictive writing, can type chinese damn fast

Most of the time we don't spell ce suo, just cs..and predictive writing can pick it up .. so you can type long sentence with speeds

On phone using predictive computer depend

Just use speech then
Wechat speech recognition is very good
Just copy paste to your text

Tell them to learn bahasa la.

use voice text lor unless you don't know how to speak taiwanese mandarin/chinese.

are you from the generation that is afraid of telephone calls?

you just need to type

"c" then "s"

The keyboard will show the most use word combination for you to choose.

Like

床前明月光

you just need to type c q m y g

so far iPhone doing good.

Exactly! This was what I meant, but you explained it better

PC also has a drawing pad allow you to use stroke. Click on the settings icon and it should show various styles of input, most of them are online keyboards but one of them is drawing pad.

謝謝你

I used ChangJie 倉頡法.
But now I prefer 手写.

why cant we invent a new typing system that constructs a char based on their strokes?
there are only 4 strokes right? surely that can fit in a keyboard?

Nowadays not so bad lah

鑫淼too many stroke

ChangJie 倉頡

CCC 金金金
EEE 水水水

五笔输入法

Invented nearly 30 years ago

The keyboard with cainis character

I think you are looking for wubi input?

nver learn bout this before in school

there is one bosiami input, you can try

https://boshiamy.com/eshop_retail.php

we malaysians have no choice but to use pinyin
the taiwanese themselves uses another type of keyboard/entry way that i don't even know how it works
i've seen them use before, it is indeed faster if you know how it works

Haha I know how to use it.

is this what i am thinking?

where u input by inputing strokes and not how its pronounce

chinese char cannot be input using pronounciatio... too many overlap

Google Pinyin for PC got predictive typing.
Unfortunately discontinued already ☹️

YouTube
五笔输入法教学

used to learn 倉頡 and 五筆，cannot memorize the code, and didn't bother to familiar with it,
so stick with pinyin till now.
actually pinyin is the most straight forward way, u know already, no need to memorize which is which,
certainly no need to learn from bottom the bo po mo fo which used by taiwan, some old folks
may know this as they learned this instead of pinyin last time.

google traslate lagi cepat

terribly bad

English je, but die die want to take the hard road.

Real pro~

noob

Yeah.

Just like how we put TMDSB straight keluar first option. No need kepala sakit.

But sometimes when you wanna write stuff like WZCF (Im eating) it comes out as something like (I'm in kitchen) or (gibberish etc)

cnm

Google translate copy paste.




Otherwise use Engrand BM lah. CNM.



Or use Japunis keyboard type Japunis hiragana then auto suggest kanji oh wai.

Handwriting input.

This is 86 version wubi keyboard layout table, there are other newer version like 98 and new-century with some updates. Technically you just type with the strokes combination to form the word. It will take some time to practice and memorize but you can type a lot faster and lesser error than pinyin once you mastered it.

Pinyin input is easier and faster to learn or adapt for anyone as it rely on pronunciation but type slower and typo.

Is there a writing pad that connects to PC via usb, to sketch n write chinese?

I think generally those drawing tablet (with/without display) that digital artist usually use (wacom/xp-pen/huion), pair with the handwriting input should work, can use it for digital signature as well.

U unker still using traditional Chinese?🤣

Install Japanese pinyin language/keyboard

then have to ownself type one by one liao. I am not that good in typing chinese but i saw those that used to type chinese, really very fast. As fast as we are tying english

in the age of chatgpt.. just use it to read to you jer la... and type for you... then u paste it jer la...

if dont integrate with AI... you will be dePOPZ.....

pin yin is so simple and easy. It's hard for you because you have broken chinese. You don't speak proper pronounciation.

if u want to type words that are less used, you have to page down to find the word

This is 2025. You can voice recognition in every phone right now. No need type. Voice to words instanly.

I voice(key) in my daughter buku nilam 1000words in 5mins.

Just read it out the wordings and your phone will do the magic for the rest.

If you're from the nokia 3310 generasi, you'll see miraculous typist from their ability of using strokes to type a message. Almost 99% accuracy, no need to look at the keypad, and can drive, smoke, text at same time.

Almost the same as us using keypad to type SMS text, but eye looking at teacher in class. literally as simple as typing

333-88-222-55-0-999-66-88

It stands for "FUCK YOU," to the strawberry gens that tatau what it means.

Phone in English, voice in Chinese, recognition into enggurish.

WO YAO QU DA BIAN = I wanna go shit.

Recog into : Wow You Chill The Ben.

Hati Pecah. Otak Retak. Phone meets its Kiamat.

Voice recognition can change one lar, there is EN on the keypad, click can change CN then it will recognize CN one.

LOL

Seems like not many people know about it even 2025.

I use this.

Google translate

Wechat bro, on wechat lel.

but honestly, didn't try it on text or SMS coz didn't has the need, I try later.
