Pinyin Keyboard

A Pinyin Keyboard allows users to type Chinese characters using the Roman alphabet. When you enter pinyin (the phonetic spelling of Chinese words), the software suggests corresponding characters. It simplifies typing Chinese by letting you use familiar Latin letters to input complex characters, which are then selected from a list. This method is efficient and accessible, especially for those who know the pronunciation but not the characters. It’s widely used on computers and smartphones, helping bridge language input challenges by combining phonetic input with character selection.
