Cantonese keyboard

The Cantonese keyboard is a versatile soft keyboard designed for Android devices that facilitates the entry of both traditional and simplified Chinese characters, as well as English input. It is tailored to users in need of a comprehensive typing solution that adheres to the Hong Kong Government Cantonese Romanisation system. This platform boasts a robust feature set that includes a multi-layout interface with 16 different keyboard layouts, a selection history to track your choices, and a learning function to suggest related words and associated phrases.

One of the standout benefits of the app is its integrated English-Chinese dictionary lookup, which allows for swift and precise word searches without the need for additional insecure permissions. It also supports hard keys, making it adaptable for various typing preferences. Users will appreciate the convenience of the phrase lookup feature, requiring approximately 32MB of heap memory, which enables direct Chinese phrase input by keying in the initials of the phrase or the full final character for greater accuracy.

The app ensures users can easily transition between keyboard layouts and languages, with support spanning from Android versions 1.5 to 5.x. Installation and setup are straightforward, with detailed instructions provided to help users check and select it as their input method.

For optimal performance and personalization, there are settings available to adjust touch sensitivity and enable options for rarely used characters or Simplified Chinese candidates as needed. While there may be some known issues on certain devices, steps such as reinstalling the game or adjusting settings can usually resolve theme changes and touch issues.

By incorporating this tool into your daily use, you will enjoy a more efficient typing experience in Cantonese and English, robust enough for both casual and professional communication.
