Sogou Pinyin Input Method

Introduction of Sogou Pinyin Input Method and Tips

1. Introduction of Input Method

Sogou Pinyin Input Method is a new generation of input method based on the search engine technology launched by Sogou (www.sogou.com) which is especially suitable for Internet users.

2. Quick start guide

How to switch out of Sogou Input Method?

Move the mouse to the place where you want to input, click it to make the system enter into the input state, and then press "Ctrl+Shift" to switch the input method, and press it to Sogou Pinyin Input Method to come out. When the system has only one input method or Sogou input method is the default input method, press "Ctrl+Space" to switch out Sogou input method.

Since most people only use one input method, you can remove the ones you don't use and keep the one you use the most for convenience and efficiency. You can delete the input method you don't use by right clicking on the "Settings" option in the system's "Languages and Texts" column (the deletion here is not an uninstallation, and you can add it later by using the "Add" option). You can also add them later by using the "Add" option.)

How do I select words by flipping pages?

Sogou Pinyin Input Method's default page turn key is "comma (,) period (.)".

Sogou Pinyin Input Method defaults to "comma (,) period (.)", i.e., after typing Pinyin, press period (.) This is equivalent to the PageDown key. After you find the selected word, press the corresponding numeric key to enter it. We recommend that you use these two keys to turn the page, because when you use "comma" and "period", you don't have to move your hand away from the main operating area of the keyboard, which is the most efficient and less prone to errors.

The default page-flipping keys in the input method are "minus (-), equals (=)" and "left and right square brackets ([])", which can be accessed via "Settings" → "Properties" → "Key" → "Keystrokes". "Keys" → "Page Turning Keys".

How to use Simplified Spelling?

Sogou Input Method now supports both initial and initial consonant abbreviations. For example, if you want to input "张靓颖", you just need to input "zhly" or "zly" to input "张靓颖". You can type "zhang liang ying" by typing "zhly" or "zly". At the same time, Sogou Input Method supports mixed input of simplified spelling and full spelling, for example, you can get "input method" by typing "srf", "sruf", "shrfa", "input method" by typing "zhly" or "zly".

Please note that the initials of the consonants here work in the same way as "z, s, c" in fuzzy sounds. However, this is not the same thing. Even if you don't choose the fuzzy tone in the settings, you can still use "zly" to input "张靓颖". Effective use of initial letter spelling can improve input efficiency and reduce mistyping. For example, if you input the words "指示精神", if you input traditional initial letter spelling, you can only input "zhshjsh", which requires you to input more than one h and is easy to cause mistyping. If you type in the traditional initials, you can only type "zhshjsh", which requires a lot of typing and multiple h's, which can easily lead to typos, while typing in the initials of the initials, "zsjs", can quickly get you the words you want.

How do I switch between English and Chinese?

By default, the input method switches to English by pressing the "Shift" key, and returns to Chinese by pressing the "Shift" key again. You can also switch to Chinese by clicking the Chinese character icon on the status bar.

In addition to the "Shift" key, Sogou Input Method also supports Enter to enter English, and V mode to enter English. This saves you the trouble of switching to English when you are typing a shorter version of English.

Entering English: To enter English, just hit enter.

V-mode input: First type "V", then type the English you want to input, you can include @+*/- and other symbols, and then hit the space can be.

How to modify the number of candidate words?

5 Candidate words:

9 Candidate words:

You can modify it by right-clicking in the menu above the status bar on Settings Properties→Appearance→Number of Candidate Words, and your choices range from 3-9.

The default input method is 5 candidates, Sogou's first word hit rate has been greatly improved compared to traditional input methods, the first page of the 5 candidates to meet the majority of the time when the input. It is recommended to use the default 5 candidates. If there are too many candidates, it will be difficult to find them, resulting in a decrease in input efficiency.

How do I change the appearance?

Normal window:

Extra-large window:

Standard status bar:

Mini status bar:

Currently, Sogou Input Method supports two types of appearance modification: the size of the input box and the size of the status bar. You can modify it by setting Properties→Display Settings in the right-click menu of the status bar. How to input URL conveniently?

We have designed a variety of convenient URL input modes especially for the web, so that you can input almost all the URLs in the Chinese input state. The current rules are:

Enter a URL starting with www., ftp://sogou.com类型的网址.

When you enter a URL that doesn't start with www., you can just type in, for example, abc.abc. (But you can't type in abc123.abc type URLs, because the period is still used as the default page turn key.)

How to use custom phrase

Custom phrase is to input customized text by specific string, custom phrase is on by default in the advanced tab of setting options. Click Custom Phrase Settings.

You can add, delete, and modify custom phrases. Setting your own commonly used custom phrases can improve the input efficiency. 例如使用yx,1=wangshi@sogou.com entered yx, 然后按下空格就输入了wangshi@sogou.com. Using sfz,1=130123456789, you entered sfz and then pressed space to enter 130123456789.

The improved custom phrase supports multiple lines, spaces, and specified positions.

How do I set a fixed first character?

Sogou uses the Custom Phrase feature to fix the first character. You can change it through the custom phrase function above.

Double-click the option to go to the editing interface:

If you want to type "b" and the first thing that comes up is not "吧", you can change it to "不", then click Save Changes.

If you want to type "b" with "no" instead of "bar", you can change it to "no", and then click Save Changes:

In the future, if you want to type "b" with "no" as the first character, you can change it to "no".

The current 22 high-frequency characters with fixed initials are:

a=ah b=bar c=cai d=of f=fly g=a

h=good j=just k=see l=m=m=? n=your

o=oh p=ping q=go r=people s=yes t=him

w=me x=think y=yi z=in

Input Rules

1. QuanPin

The QuanPin input is the most basic input method in Pinyin Input Method. You just need to use Ctrl+Shift to switch to Sogou Input Method, and type Pinyin in the input window to input. Then you can select the character or word you want in turn. You can use the default page turn key which is "comma (,) period (.)" to turn pages.

Full Spelling Mode:

2. Simplified Spelling

Simplified Spelling is a way to input the first letter of a consonant or vowel, and effective use of Simplified Spelling can greatly improve the efficiency of input. Sogou Input Method now supports both initial consonant and initial letter of consonant. For example, if you want to input "张靓颖", you only need to input "zhly" or "zly" to input "张靓颖". "

At the same time, Sogou Input Method supports the mixing of simplified spelling and full spelling, e.g., if you type "srf", "sruf", "shrfa", you will be able to get "srf", "sruf" and "shrfa" are all available.

Please note that the initials of the vowels here work in the same way as "z, s, c" in fuzzy sounds. However, this is not the same thing. Even if you don't choose the fuzzy tone in the settings, you can still use "zly" to input "张靓颖". Effective use of initial letter spelling can improve input efficiency and reduce mistyping. For example, if you input the words "指示精神", if you input traditional initial letter spelling, you can only input "zhshjsh", which requires you to input more than one h and is easy to cause mistyping. The first letter of the initial consonant, "zsjs", will get you the word you want very quickly.

Simplified spelling mode 1:

Simplified spelling mode 2:

Also, since there are too many candidates for Simplified Spelling, you can mix Simplified Spelling and Full Spelling, which is a good way to minimize the number of letters you need to type and to improve your typing efficiency. For example, if you want to enter "指示精神", you enter "zhishijs", "zsjingshen", " zsjingsh", "zsjingsh" and "zsjings" are all fine. Skilled typists will often use a mix of full and short spelling.

3. English input

The default input method is to press the "Shift" key to switch to the English input state, and then press the "Shift" key to return to the Chinese state. You can also switch to Chinese by clicking the Chinese character icon on the status bar.

In addition to the "Shift" key, Sogou Input Method also supports carriage return and V-mode input. This can save you the trouble of switching to English when you are typing shorter English sentences.

Entering English by typing "Enter": You can enter English by typing "Enter" directly.

V mode input English: first enter "V", and then enter the English you want to input, can contain @ + * / - and other symbols, and then hit the space can be.

4. ShuangPin

ShuangPin is a way of typing with defined single letters instead of longer multi-letter rhymes or consonants. For example: If T=t and M=ian, typing two letters "TM" will result in the pinyin "tian". Using ShuangPin reduces the number of keystrokes but requires memorization of the corresponding keystrokes, but the efficiency will improve after you get good at it.

If you want to use ShuangPin, you have to select it in the properties window.

Special pinyin rules for inputting ShuangPin are:

For single-hyphen character, you need to input letter O+hyphen in front of it. For example: input OA→A, input OO→O, input OE→E.

And in Natural Code ShuangPin program, same as Natural Code Input Method's ShuangPin method, for single-rhyme characters, you need to input double-rhyme, for example: input AA→A, input OO→O, input EE→E.

8 Re: Tips for using Sogou Pinyin Input Method

5. Fuzzy Tones

Fuzzy tones are designed for people who are easily confused by certain syllables. When fuzzy tones are enabled, for example, sh<-->s, typing "si" can also bring out "ten", typing "shi" can also bring out "four".

The fuzzy sounds supported by Sogou are:

Consonantal fuzzy sounds: s <--> sh, c<--> ch, z <--> zh, l<--> n, f<--> h, r<--> l,

Rhyme fuzzy sounds: an <. -->ang, en<-->eng, in<-->ing, ian<-->iang, uan<-->uang.

6. Traditional Chinese

Select Simplified Chinese in the right-click menu of the status bar to go to Traditional Chinese. Click again to return to Simplified Chinese.

7. URL Input Mode

URL INPUT MODE is a convenient feature designed especially for the web, which allows you to input almost all URLs in Chinese. The current rules are:

Enter a URL starting with www., ftp://sogou.com类型的网址.

When you enter a URL that doesn't start with www., you can just type in, for example, abc.abc. (But you can't enter an abc123.abc type of URL, because the period is still used as the default page turn key.)

When you input mailbox, you can input mailbox without number in the prefix, 例如leilei@sogou.com.

8. U mode stroke input

U mode is specially designed for inputting words that can't be read. After inputting the u key, then input the stroke order of a character in sequence, the stroke order is: h horizontal, s vertical, p apostrophe, n down, z fold, then you can get the character, at the same time, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on the keypad also stand for h, s, p, n, z. The rules of the stroke order here are exactly the same as that of the five-stroke stroke input in the normal cell phone. Where dots can also be entered with d. Since ShuangPin takes up the u-key and Smart ABC's stroke rules are not five-stroke, there is no u-key mode under either ShuangPin or Smart ABC.

It's worth noting that the stroke order for tree heart is dot-dot-vertical (nns), not vertical dot-dot-dot.

For example, enter the word you:

9. Stroke Filtering

Stroke Filtering is used to quickly locate a single character by using its stroke order when entering that character. The way to use it is to input one or more words, press the tab key (the tab key is not affected if it is a page turner), and then use h horizontal, s vertical, p apostrophe, n down, z folding to input the stroke order of the first word in turn, and keep on finding the word until you find it. The rules for the five stroke order are the same as the rules for stroke input above. To exit stroke filtering mode, simply delete the stroke assist codes you have already entered.

For example, to quickly locate the character zhen, after you have entered zhen, press tab and then enter the first two strokes of zhen, hh, to locate the character.

10. v-mode Chinese numerals (including capitalization of amount)

v-mode Chinese numerals is a combination of functions, including multiple functions of Chinese numerals. It can only be used in the state of full spelling:

a), Chinese numeral amount case: input v424.52, output 肆佰贰拾肆元伍角二分;

b), Roman numeral: input the number within 99 such as v12, output XII;

c), year automatic conversion: input v2008.8.8 or v2008-8-8 or v2008/8/8, output August 8, 2008;

d), year shortcut input: input v2006n12y25r, output December 25, 2006;

11. Insert current date and time

Insert current date and time function can be used to easily enter the current system date, time and week. And you can also use the insert function to construct dynamic time by yourself. For example, it is used in the template for replying to a letter. This function is realized by the custom phrase function with the built-in time function of Input Method. Since the custom phrase of Input Method will not overwrite the user's existing configuration file by default, you need to restore the default configuration of the custom phrase if you want to use the following function (that is to say: if you input rq without outputting the system date, please open the Options tab→Advanced→Custom Phrase Settings→click Restore Default Configuration to restore the default configuration). Note: Restoring the default configuration will lose your existing configuration, please save and edit it manually by yourself. The built-in insertion items of input method are:

a), input rq (the initial letter of date) to output system date December 28, 2006;

b), input sj (the initial letter of time) to output system time December 28, 2006 19:19:04;

c), input xq (the initial letter of day of week) to output system day of week Thursday, December 28, 2006;

The format of the built-in time functions in custom phrases is described in the default configuration of custom phrases.

12. Split Word Auxiliary Code(3.0Beta1)

Split Word Auxiliary Code lets you quickly locate a single word, use it as follows:

Want to input a Chinese character Xian, but it is very backward and can't be found, then input xian, and then press tab, and then input the two parts of the female leisure of the first letter of the word Xian, nx, and then you can see that there is only the character Xian left . The order of input is xian+tab+xn.

There is no split-assist code for monograms because they cannot be split into two parts.

Input Method Settings

1. Open the Settings window

You can click on the small wrench on the status bar, or right-click the menu above the status bar to see the Settings Properties option, click on it to open it. The default settings of the input method are generally the most efficient and suitable for most people, so it is recommended that you use the default settings option.

2. General tab

Input styles:

To take care of the habits of Smart ABC users, we have designed two input styles:

Sogou style:

In Sogou's default style, you can use the horizontal display of the candidate items, direct conversion of the pinyin input (without spaces), enable dynamic word formation, use the ",,", and use the ",,". ",." Page flip, and the number of candidate items is 5. Sogou default style is suitable for most users, even if you have been using other input methods for a long time, you will feel quick to get used to Sogou default style. When you change to this style, you will change the above five options at the same time, of course, these five options can be modified individually to use the habit that suits your hand.

Smart ABC style:

In Smart ABC style, it will use vertical display of candidate items, input pinyin space conversion, turn off dynamic word formation, not use ",." Page turn, the number of candidate items is 9. Smart ABC style is suitable for users who are accustomed to using smart ABC such as knocking one more space out of the word, vertical candidate items, etc. When changing to this style, the above five options will be changed at the same time, of course, these five options can be modified individually in order to use the habit that suits your hand.

Smart ABC style is our specially designed input habits for the majority of Smart ABC users, we respect the user's opinion, and hope that all users use it more comfortable and smooth.

Input Method

Instant Conversion: This is the default input method of Sogou, when inputting pinyin, it will directly display the candidate words, when knocking space the first item is directly on the screen.

Convert by space: When you input pinyin, only when you press space once will the candidate words be shown, and the first item will be on the screen after you hit space again.

In space conversion mode, you can choose to select words with letters, you can use A, B, C, D, E, etc. instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to select words. Dynamic word formation

Dynamic word formation means that when there is no word in the system, the input method will automatically form words, for example: there is no word "economic and social" in the thesaurus, when you type "jingjishehui", the input method will When you type "jingjishehui", the input method will automatically combine the words with "economy" and "society". The use of automatic word formation can greatly reduce the number of times you have to choose words, so it is recommended to use it. Because Smart ABC is a key-by-key word selection, this function is turned off in Smart ABC style, if you don't have high demand for key-by-key word selection, but want to pursue higher efficiency, you can turn on this option by yourself. Pinyin Mode

Sogou supports Full Pinyin, Simplified Pinyin, and Double Pinyin. Details are as follows: Full Pinyin

Full Pinyin is a complete pinyin sequence to input Chinese characters, for example, to input "Super Girl", you can input "chaojinvsheng". Check Simplified Pinyin to mix Simplified Pinyin and Full Pinyin. To learn more about Simplified Pinyin, please see How to use Simplified Pinyin

After checking Use z, c, s for zh, ch, sh, you can use cjns for Superwoman, which is enabled by default.

Double spelling

Double spelling is a way of typing with defined single letters instead of longer multi-letter rhymes or consonants. For example: If T=t and M=ian, typing two letters "TM" will result in the pinyin "tian". Using ShuangPin reduces the number of keystrokes but requires memorization of the corresponding keystrokes, but the efficiency will improve after you get good at it.

Turning on ShuangPin Expanded Hints will give you a hint of the pinyin of the full character after the ShuangPin you've typed.

When you open ShuangPin and use QuanPin at the same time, ShuangPin and QuanPin will be ****able. After our observation and experiment, there is basically no conflict between the two, which can be used by novice ShuangPin users when they first learn ShuangPin.

Fuzzy tones

Fuzzy tones are designed for people who are easily confused by certain syllables. When fuzzy sounds are enabled, for example, sh<-->s, typing "si" can also come out as "ten", typing "shi" can also come out as "four". The fuzzy sounds supported by Sogou are:

Consonantal fuzzy sounds: s <--> sh, c<--> ch, z <--> zh, l<--> n, f<--> h, r<--> l,

Rhyme fuzzy sounds: an<-->. ang, en<--> eng, in<--> ing, ian<--> iang, uan<--> uang.

Cursor Following

Cursor following refers to the fact that the input window follows near the cursor, so that the input window is relatively close to the input and makes the gaze It is recommended to use it. Cursor following effect:

Limit the number of non-singleton candidates

Some pinyin has many homophones, such as yiyi, meaningful, yiyi, yiyi, yiyi, yiyi, yiyi, yiyi, yiyi, yiyi, yiyi, yiyi, yiyi, yiyi, yiyi, yiyi, yiyi, yiyi, yiyi, and so on. Limiting the number of candidates is good for quickly flipping to a later page of single words.

3. Key tab

Switch between Chinese and English

Press the selected key (default is "Shift") to switch from Chinese input to English input.

Chinese Input State:

English Input State:

Two or Three Candidates

The selected key can be used to select the second or third candidate directly.

It is recommended to use "comma (,) period (.)" to turn the page, because with "comma" "period" when the hands do not move away from the main operating area of the keyboard, the highest efficiency, but also less prone to error. Sogou also supports "minus sign (-), equal sign (=)" and "left and right square brackets []" to turn pages by default.

Word by word

When you want to enter a word, but the word is very far back, you can use the word by word function to enter the word very quickly. For example, if you want to input the word "济", when you input "经济", don't hit the space, but press the key you set, such as "[]" in "[]" to input "濟". " in "[]" to input the character "济". Since this feature is used by fewer people, the input method is turned off by default; if you use it, you can check the box to turn it on.

4. Shortcut tab

Changing the candidate in focus

Changing the candidate that is currently in focus applies to the word by word function, so that the word by word function can be used when it is not the first candidate.

Default word in focus, press space, then output tired:

Change the word in focus, press space, then output lei lei:

Delete user-made words

If you have typed a wrongly made word in input, you can delete them one by one by using shortcut keys of word function. Please note that you can only delete self-created words, not words that are already in the system.

Soft keyboard and system menu shortcuts

You can select specific shortcuts by using the options above, or you can turn off shortcuts.

5. Word Bank Settings

User Functions

When Dynamic Word Frequency is turned on, Input Method will record the user's self-created words and the word order will be changed according to the usage, and the words and phrases that are frequently typed will be moved to the front.

10 Re: Tips for using Sogou Pinyin Input Method

Default Input Method Status

Default Input Method Status refers to the state of the input method when it is reopened, the default of the input method is Chinese, half-corners, Chinese punctuation. Check Use English punctuation in Chinese state, then the default punctuation in Chinese state is English punctuation when you open the input method.

Customization Options

Customization options include the following 8 functions that can be turned off or on: Intelligent Delete Mistaken Words

This is an intelligent error correction function that we have developed especially for the situation where people often choose the wrong words by mistake. If you press backspace within 2 seconds of accidentally selecting a wrong word, the wrong word will be deleted from the thesaurus. In general, it does not affect the existing new words, and at the same time, it can prevent most of the wrong words. This is because people always delete the wrong words immediately after choosing them. This function can solve two problems at the same time:

a, if you delete a wrong word immediately after choosing it by mistake, the wrong word will not be recorded in the thesaurus;

b, if you delete a wrong word immediately after choosing it by mistake, the word order of the wrong word will not be adjusted to be in front of the wrong one, i.e., the order of the words will not be changed. Pinyin Error Correction

When inputting very fast, many people will input ing as ign, and then have to delete it, which affects the efficiency. Sogou Input Method provides automatic error correction for ign→ing, img→ing, as well as uei→ui, uen→un, iou→iu, and even if you input "dign

At the same time, it also provides the function of automatically following the decimal point after the number, which is convenient for people who often input numbers, and if you really need to input a Chinese period, you can delete the decimal point and then input it again as a Chinese period.

English input in V mode

Type in "V" first, then type in the English you want to input, you can include @+*/- and other symbols, and then hit the space can be.

Web address input mode

To see the web address input mode, please click How to input web address

Output decimal point after number

Automatically output decimal point after number instead of period, to make it easier for people who often input numbers.

Custom phrases

To see how to use custom phrases click How to use custom phrases Word association(1.5beta3)

Entering the first 4 syllables of a phrase outputs a long word that starts with those four syllables, and the associated long word appears in the second and third position, which are the only two shown at the moment.

By changing the settings for word association, you can also change the number of syllables to be associated, the starting position of the associated word, and the number of words to be associated.

Input Statistics(1.5beta2)

Turning on Input Statistics allows you to count how many Chinese characters you've typed in a ****, as well as your fastest speed in three minutes and your all-time fastest speed. This little feature was developed for you to learn about some of your interesting inputs.

Custom Punctuation

Custom Punctuation is used to freely set which key corresponds to which Chinese punctuation, for example, the setting of the key for a pause, dash, ellipsis, and so on. Here is the setting interface:

Upgrade Options

There are three kinds of update options: Manual update is not update, and you can update yourself by clicking the update now button. Prompt update is to prompt when there is a new version. Automatic update is to download and install the new version automatically when it is found.

1. Tips and Tricks

-Use "English+Enter" to input English quickly without switching to English input state.

-Use "comma (,) period (.)" to turn pages, the hand movement distance is minimized, the efficiency is maximized, and it is not easy to make mistakes.

-Frequent use of "initials + full spelling" can greatly reduce the number of keystrokes and improve typing efficiency.

2. Frequently Asked Questions

What's the problem with software reporting that Sogou Input Method contains plug-ins?

Sogou Pinyin Input Method has made a solemn promise that it will never contain plug-ins, no ads, and no viruses. Some of the software reports that it contains plug-ins are false positives (due to the fact that the software only scans the registry when determining whether or not it contains plug-ins), and we have already dealt with the authors of the software. The authors have indicated that they will make corrections in the new version. I installed a new version of Input Method, but it didn't take effect.

Input methods take effect only after a reboot when overriding the installation. Similarly, uninstallation takes a reboot to remove it completely. What should I do if I have a problem with the input method?

Sogou Pinyin Input Method is still in beta, there are still a few bugs, and we're working on fixing them. If you find a problem, please report it to us by clicking the "Feedback" link on the right menu. Of course, you can also tell us if you have any good suggestions, as long as the majority of users need good suggestions, we will certainly be open to add them.
