Main Functions:
✔ Phonetic Input
Automatic conversion of phonetic strings to Pinyin search, supporting abbreviated Pinyin input (e.g., ㄑㄎ directly displays "情况"). Tones can be omitted; the spacebar directly outputs the preferred character.
✔ Multi-Tap Switching
Double-clicking the same key cycles through dual phonetic symbols (W→ㄉ, WW→ㄊ).
The switching timeout is adjustable (300~1500ms), behaving identically to BlackBerry's native phonetic input method.
✔ Five-Key Character Selection
The candidate bar retains 5 candidate characters. The 0 key selects the preferred character, and the arrow keys select candidates 2-5.
Blind typing is possible without using the number keys.
✔ Traditional/Simplified Chinese Switching
The toolbar's Traditional/Simplified Chinese buttons allow for one-click switching of candidate output, or quick switching using Sym+Del.
Traditional Chinese characters take effect instantly.
✔ Soft Keyboard Mode
The soft keyboard operates on the same logic as the physical keyboard, displaying both letters and phonetic symbols on the keycaps.
It is generally compatible with touchscreen phones.
✔ Synchronous Pinyin Display
The phonetic box displays the corresponding Pinyin in square brackets after the phonetic symbol, helping you quickly familiarize yourself with the phonetic keys.
✔ Gesture-based character selection and page turning: Swipe up and down to select characters, swipe left and right to turn pages; sensitivity and effective area are customizable.
✔ Predictive input: Supports predictive input in phonetic mode, becoming increasingly intuitive with use.
✔ Quick send: Send messages with Shift+Enter; with accessibility authorization, the send button can be automatically clicked.
✔ Clipboard management: Manage clipboard history and frequently used entries in one place.
✔ Convenient calculator: Calculate formulas directly within the input box; supports operator segmentation.
