How to use our Chinese IME?

Our Chinese input method is an excellent resource for learning Chinese or typing in Chinese. We created this online Chinese input method (IME) as now there are very few Chinese input methods available as standalone websites. This is probably due to new technology and people using eg cellphones to type Chinese. This input method is particularly useful for people using computers where the settings are locked to disallow changes. Our IME is compatible with almost every web browser and doesn't require additional software or applications.

If you're not familiar with Chinese IME's (input method editors), this Chinese typing guide will show you how to use our Chinese keyboard. If you are typing Chinese on a computer, you almost certainly will need to use an IME. This keyboard will require to be able to recognize the correct Chinese character for the context, especially as many have the same pinyin.

We have worked very hard to make our Chinese IME as easy to use. Enter the pinyin, then select the Chinese characters below. If the Chinese character does not appear in the first list, press the >> buttons to get to the next options. This Chinese input is designed for Hanyu pinyin and you can choose whether you type in simplified (简体）or traditional Chinese (繁体). You can change the size of the text or font size to make things clearer.

If you want to type words with sounds like lǚ or nǚ, you will need to type using a v so nv instead of nu.  So lv you for 旅游 (lǚyóu).

We hope that our keyboard will allow you to type in Chinese at roughly the same rate as you normally type..There is also the option to change the size of the text that you type. Select the text size that is most comfortable for you by clicking on the icon with "汉". When you've finished typing your Chinese text, press the "copy" option at the bottom right and then paste it into your document.

This keyboard works in all modern browsers (Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, or any others).

Can you learn Chinese without learning how to type? It's unlikely. If you want to be able to type Chinese characters fast, our Chinese keyboard is the best way to do it. Writing Chinese by hand is very slow and time consuming. Typing Chinese on a computer is much more convenient. There are other Chinese IME that don't use pinyin and instead use something like Wubi. We are hopeful that in the future, we will also be able to offer a Wubi/ Wubi Hua/Jyutping IME.
