Comparisons between Shuangtong Input Method and Cangjie Input Method

2019-03-28

   Dual-pass input method includes the input of simple and traditional Chinese characters in pinyin and strokes, and the alphabet keyboard and digital keyboard are universal; some people call it the aircraft carrier of the input method today, it is not exaggerated!

    Dual-pass input method is a perfect unity of simplicity and intelligence and efficiency. Whether simplified or traditional, Pinyin typing has two keys at most and strokes typing three keys at most. It has low code-weighting rate, rich in many patents and innovative functions. Anyone with different habits and different cultural backgrounds can use it freely!

    Brief introduction of double-pass (stroke) input method:  

    Only 9 keys are used: 1-5 keys (5 single stroke keys); 6-9 keys (4 component keys), as follows:
    Single stroke "horizontal and vertical apostrophe fold": 1 (1) 2 (2000) 3 (2001) 4 (2002) 5 (2000)
    Initial high frequency common components: 6 (Ji) 7 (Wood) 8 (Danren 8) 9 (Juren 8)
    Five single-stroke keys are fixed, and other components are matched according to the initial strokes of the word, such as:
    Components of the starting pen: 6 () 7 (He) 8 (Th) 9 (month)
    Initial parts: 6 (household) 7 (Zheng) 8 (Qu) 9 (army)
    Components only need two strokes at most, and are displayed randomly by a soft keyboard, without any memory at all!
    Only three keys for a word at most! Words need only four keys
    Alphabetic keyboard and digital keyboard are common (the middle row of letters: ASD-L stands for 123-9 in turn)
   As you know, the stroke input of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan mobile phones has always been: Cangjie code. Here we make a simple comparison with Cangjie Code:

    A comparative example:
    Cangjie input "car": Shitian 10: JWJ (root does not conform to stroke order and Chinese character structure)
    Double-pass input "car": a car: strokes or letters are 128 or ASK (in line with stroke order)
    Cangjie input "marrow": moon and moon divination: OKVIF (word root is not easy to understand, code length)
    Cangjie input "marrow": choosing: 255 or SGG (in line with stroke sequence, code length)
    There is no doubt that the advantages and disadvantages of the two are clear at a glance. In addition,          Shuangtong has the functions of related words, self-made words and so on.
    Attachment: Cangjie code for reference
    The input method is similar to the five-stroke font, and the keyboard for the root of the font is as follows:

    The details are as follows:
    It can be divided into five categories, with 26 Cangjie letters, including relative keys and pronunciation.
    Five elements: day (A), month (B), gold (C), wood (D), water (E), fire (F), soil (G)
    Types of strokes: bamboo (H, pitch), Ge (I, pitch), 10 (J, crosstalk), big (K, tuning fork), medium (L, pitch), one (M, transverse) and bow (N, hook).
    Human body: human (O), heart (P), hand (Q), mouth (R)
    Types: corpse (S, phonetic rules), 20 (T, phonetic union), mountain (U, Yinyang), female (V, Yinnu), Tian (W, phonetic square), divination (Y)
    Compound Class: In any case, take the first and last two yards at most, including ghost (HI), dragon (YP), Dou (LN), eye (BU), door (AN), queen (NL), several (VI, excluding people in the lower left corner), hawk (OG), yaw (YR).
    Special Category: Difficult (X), for specific strokes, including: mortar (HX), Mao (NX) about 11 strokes;        Heavy (Z) (no longer used in the third generation, by some homemade Cangjie as a special key.
    The first 24 Cangjie letters can also be changed and derived to "auxiliary fonts" to identify all Chinese characters. For example, the word "fork" is disassembled as "you + hao", corresponding to the letter E + I, in which "you" is the auxiliary font of the Cangjie letter "water".
    Coding principles: Chinese characters are divided into font structures according to the principles of "top-down, left-to-right, and outside-to-inside", and then spelled out by codes. On the keyboard, keys A to Y each represent a word code (X keys are used for special words, Z keys are usually not used), such as A is "day" and N is "bow". Code sub-tables represent different Chinese font structures. Take the prefix and the font of the code division. A Chinese character can be input at least one yard and the longest is five yards. There is one more trick:
    Single character: that is, it can not be divided into several parts, take the code: head, two, three. Industry - Twenty Golden Twenty Wood - TCTD
    Fit word: can be divided into two parts: head and tail, the first two tails, such as: yo-yi turen bow-MGOMN; can be divided into three parts: head and tail, head and tail, tail (if the letter is a yard, the word body can be taken two yards), for example: pith-moon divination big moon-BBYKB
    Other examples: the word "li" - (split) - > 1 + soil + field + soil - (corresponding letter) - > M + G + W + G; "ha" - (split) - > mouth + person + one + mouth - (corresponding letter) - > R + O + M + R
    Cangjie Five Generations Multi-character Words Coding Rules: (Note: the first/last of the following refers to the first and last codes taken as the first and last codes in word coding) Two-character words: first and last + first and last = 4; three-character words: first + first + last + first = 4; four-character words: first + first + first + first + last = 5.
    Simple/quick input method derived from Cangjie: Simple input method (the name of DOS era), or fast input method (the name of Chinese Windows), also referred to as simple or quick, is a simplified version of Cangjie input method. Its character-splitting method is the same as that of Cangjie, but only the first and last two codes of Cangjie code are used instead of the first and last two codes of each font, so the longest Chinese character is only two codes. This method is relatively simple, so it is more popular with beginners, but users need to choose from a large number of words with the same code, so that the input speed is relatively slow.          However, some people have memorized the part of the digital code to improve the input speed. In addition, since it was preset in the Windows operating system in the early stage, and need not be installed separately, it is one of the most commonly preset input methods in many computers, so there are many users.
