Title
SeeIME: a Chinese mobile IME for Chinese learners based on hybrid Pinyin code
Abstract
For foreign Chinese learners, learning Pinyin is much easier than Chinese characters. Traditional Chinese input methods (IMEs) that are intended for Chinese people are not suitable for Chinese learners whose mother language is non-Chinese. In general, different languages can be translated into each other. By this feature and the relevant knowledge of existing IMEs, we take Chinese and English as an example to propose a hybrid encoding that combines Pinyin and the first two letters of its translation. We implement SeeIME with this hybrid Pinyin code. SeeIME can effectively reduce the number of candidate words and help users recognize Chinese characters better via a three-block display method. Using this code for sentence generation can improve the hit rate, which increases from 58% to 84%. The implemented IME is already available for the Android system.
