At present, there are many kinds of keyboard input methods, and new input methods are constantly emerging. Each input method has its own characteristics and advantages. With the update of various input methods, its functions are getting stronger and stronger. At present, Chinese input methods have the following categories:
1. Corresponding code (running code)
This input method is based on various coding tables, because each Chinese character has only one code, so the duplication rate is almost zero, with high efficiency, and it can be typed blindly at high speed, but the disadvantage is that it needs a lot of memory and there are not many rules.
Common serial codes include positioning code, telegraph code and internal code. One code corresponds to one Chinese character.
This method is suitable for some professionals, such as telegraphers and correspondents. However, when inputting Chinese characters into the computer, this input method has been basically eliminated, only as an auxiliary input method, mainly used to input some special symbols.
2. Voice code
This input method is to input Chinese characters according to pinyin rules, without special memory, which is in line with people's thinking habits. As long as they know pinyin, they can input Chinese characters. However, pinyin input method also has shortcomings: first, there are too many homophones, high duplication rate and low input efficiency; Second, it requires higher pronunciation for users; Third, it is difficult to deal with unfamiliar words.
For example, Quanpin, Shuangpin, Xinpin, Xinpin, Intelligent ABC, Hong En Pinyin, Koala, Pinyin King, Pinyin Star, Microsoft Pinyin and other phonetic symbols in Taiwan Province Province, such as forgetfulness, naturalness, Chinese pronunciation and Roman Pinyin. Chinese Pinyin and Cantonese Pinyin in Hong Kong.
This input method is not suitable for professional typists, but it is very suitable for ordinary computer operators. Especially with the advent of a number of intelligent products and excellent software, Chinese input has entered the realm of "text input", and the choice of duplicate codes is no longer the main obstacle to phonetic codes. The new pinyin input method has made great improvements in fuzzy sound processing, automatic word formation and compatibility. Sogou Pinyin Input Method, Microsoft Pinyin Input Method and Dark Horse Intelligent Input Method also support whole sentence input, which greatly improves the speed of Pinyin input.

3. Shape code
Shape codes are coded according to the shapes of Chinese characters (strokes and radicals). Chinese characters are composed of many relatively independent basic components. For example, the word "good" consists of "female" and "child", and the word "help" consists of "force", in which "female", "child" and "force" are called roots or words in Chinese character coding. Shape code is an input method that defines radicals or strokes as basic input codes and then combines these codes into Chinese characters.
The most commonly used shape codes are five-stroke font, table code, code root code, etc. Taiwan Province Cang Xie, Dayi, Rank Rank, Shrimp, Hu Axiang Intuition, etc. Hong kong's vertical and horizontal, fast code, etc. The biggest advantage of shape code is that it is not interfered by dialects. As long as after a period of training, the efficiency of inputting Chinese characters will be greatly improved, so this input method is also the most popular at present. At present, typists mostly use shape codes to input Chinese characters, which is very beneficial to southern users with inaccurate pronunciation of Putonghua, because shape codes do not involve pinyin. But the disadvantage of shape codes is that there are many things to remember, and they will be forgotten if they are not used for a long time.
4. Voice code
Phonetic codes absorb the advantages of phonetic codes and morphological codes and mix them.
Common phonetic codes are Zheng code, Qian code and Ding code.
Natural codes are commonly used mixed codes at present. This input method is mainly based on phonetic codes, with shape codes as optional auxiliary codes, and its shape codes adopt the method of "intercepting sounds", which solves the input problem of unknown Chinese characters. The enhanced version of Natural Code 6.0 maintains the original excellent functions, and the new functions such as multi-environment, multi-internal code, multi-scheme and multi-thesaurus greatly improve the input speed and performance.
This input method is characterized by high speed and does not need special training. Suitable for journalists, writers and other non-professional typists who have certain requirements for typing speed. Compared with phonetic codes and shape codes, phonetic codes are used by fewer people.
5. Mixed input method
In order to improve the input efficiency, some Chinese character systems combine some intelligent functions and use sound, shape and meaning for input. There are also many intelligent input methods that combine pinyin input method with a certain shape code input method, so that one input method contains multiple input methods.
Take Wu Bi as an example, which includes Wu Bi, Pinyin, Chinese-English translation and English-Chinese translation. All input methods are only in one input method window, and there is no need to switch. If you know pinyin, type pinyin; If you know English, you can type English. Can't spell, can't speak English, and can also draw strokes; There is also pinyin+strokes, which is very considerate for users.
In addition, the general input method also has some auxiliary input functions, such as association function, fuzzy sound setting, automatic word creation, high-frequency foresight, automatic forgetting, multiple southern sounds, overlapping words, intelligent punctuation and so on. With the development of the network, many input methods can input simplified and traditional at the same time, which is more adaptable. The new input method also provides the function of expanding GBK Chinese character library and GBK difficult word query, which facilitates the input of difficult words. There are also word-meaning-based input methods, such as English-Chinese input method. This kind of input method is mainly aimed at people who use foreign languages. They can input words with corresponding meanings, but the speed is slow, which requires users' English level.
Non-keyboard input method
No matter how good the keyboard input method is, it takes users a period of practice to reach the basic required speed. At least users must be very skilled in fingering, which is somewhat difficult for non-professional computer users. So now many people want to find another way, not through the keyboard, but through other channels, eliminating this practice process, so that everyone can easily input Chinese characters. We collectively refer to these input methods as non-keyboard input methods. They are characterized by simple use, but they all need special equipment. Here is only a brief introduction.
Non-keyboard input method is nothing more than handwriting, listening, dictation, reading and dictation. However, due to different combinations and brands, there are many products, which are divided into the following categories: handwriting pen, speech recognition, handwriting plus speech recognition, handwriting speech recognition plus OCR scanning reader.
1. handwriting input method
Handwriting input method is a handwriting Chinese recognition input method in pen environment, which conforms to the habit of writing with pen in China. As long as you write on the handwriting board according to your usual habits, the computer can recognize and display it.
Handwriting input method needs a matching hardware handwriting board. Writing and inputting Chinese characters with a pen (which can be any type of hard pen) on the matching handwriting board is not only convenient and fast, but also has a low typo rate. You can also use the mouse to write words in the designated area, but the mouse operation requires proficiency.
There are the most kinds of handwriting pens, such as Pen, Purple Pen, Huipen, Wentong Pen, Meng Tian Pen, Ruyi Pen, China Super Pen, Gold and Silver Pen, First Writing Pen, Handwriting Pen and Pen.
2. Voice input method
Voice input method, as its name implies, is an input method that converts sound into text through a microphone. Voice recognition is represented by Via Voice introduced by IBM, and duty ++ voice recognition system, Tianxin voice recognition system and Time Tone Voice recognition system are introduced in China.
Take IBM voice input method as an example. Although it is convenient to use, the typo rate is still high, especially for some untrained technical terms and uncommon words.
In terms of hardware, the voice input method requires that your computer must be equipped with a sound card that can record normally, and then debug the microphone, so that you can input Mandarin words into the microphone. If your Mandarin accent is not standard, you only need to use the pronunciation training program it provides for a period of time to familiarize it with your accent, and you can also realize text input by speaking.
3.3 Introduction. Optical character recognition
OCR, known as optical character recognition technology, requires that the input manuscript be converted into graphics by a scanner before it can be recognized. Therefore, a scanner is necessary. The higher the printing quality of the manuscript, the higher the recognition accuracy. Generally, it is best to use printed words, such as books and magazines. If the manuscript is thin, the graphics and characters on the back of the paper may also be transmitted during scanning, thus interfering with the final recognition effect.
There are many kinds of OCR software, such as Tsinghua OCR. After the system recognizes the graphics, it will mark the uncertain characters for users to modify.
OCR technology solves the problem of re-input by handwriting or printing, and it must be equipped with a scanner. Generally, scanners on the market are basically equipped with OCR software.
4. Mixed input method
Handwriting and speech recognition input methods include Hanwang Dictation and Mengtian Dictation King System. , and smart pens and purple pens have also joined this function.
The input methods of voice handwriting recognition and OCR are Hanwang's "reading, writing and listening" and Tsinghua's "input star" respectively, such as type B (haru's wired pen +via voice+Tsinghua's TH-OCR5.98) and type C (haru's wireless pen +via voice+Tsinghua's TH-OCR5.98).
Microsoft Pinyin Input Method 2.0 can not only input by keyboard, but also support handwriting input by mouse, and it is also very flexible to use.
Either input method has its advantages and disadvantages. We can choose according to our own needs and use whatever we are used to.
Three strokes input method:
Three-stroke Chinese character input method adopts two schemes for Chinese character roots: voiced roots and unvoiced roots, in which voiced roots are pronounced with the initials of the roots; Silent radicals are represented by the shape of keyboard letters, and have the characteristics of 3-yard typing and 4-yard typing.
Three-stroke input method includes radical input and stroke input. The new version is compatible with Pinyin function three codes, and the input method does not need to be switched.
Sanbi is superior to Pinyin and Wu Bi in keyboard layout and design principle. Sanbi is the most ideal input tool for the new generation, suitable for all ages.
