Cantoboard 1.1.14

The interface and usage method are consistent with the iOS built-in keyboard. The offline input method engine ensures that no information is collected by servers.

Cantonese input follows the Jyutping scheme established by the Linguistic Society of Hong Kong (LSHK). It offers Yale compatibility mode, tone input support, and the ability to input complete sentences or phrases. For users unfamiliar with Jyutping, alternative input methods such as Cangjie, Quick Input, Stroke, or Mandarin Pinyin reverse lookup are available. Due to the lack of certain vowels in Yale romanization, it is recommended to learn Jyutping for the most accurate representation of pronunciation.

Advantages compared to other keyboards include a learning mode and the ability to switch between Cangjie, Quick Input, Stroke, or Mandarin alongside typing in Jyutping.

Compared to Kaiboard: The Cantonese mode offers learning capabilities, intelligent functions, tone input for minimizing homophones, and organizes candidate words by radical strokes. It features separate modes for Jyutping and Yale, preventing gesture conflicts.

Compared to iOS Gboard: Gboard uses a mixed fuzzy Pinyin input method that often suggests irrelevant candidates and may interfere with gestures. Moreover, it lacks tone input support for reducing homophones.

The English input method mimics the iOS system keyboard. Double tapping the space bar inputs a period, automatically adjusting between uppercase and lowercase fonts.

Intelligent input and error correction functions are available for both Chinese and English input. Punctuation marks are autocorrected based on context to ensure proper half-width/full-width display.

The input method is open source. For any inquiries or feedback, please visit the following URL: https://github.com/Cantoboard/Cantoboard.
