[edit] libpinyin
[edit] Summary
The feature covers the integration for ibus-pinyin of a new libpinyin backend to provide intelligent sentence-based Chinese pinyin input.
[edit] Owner
- Name: Peng Wu
- Email: pwu@redhat.com
[edit] Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 17
- Last updated: 2012-02-16
- Percentage of completion: 100%
[edit] Detailed Description
User requirements:
- More Intelligent Pinyin Input Method
- Intelligent Pinyin Input Methods can provide predictive sentence completion based on two or three characters of user input.
[edit] Benefit to Fedora
- Enhance the experience of Fedora for pinyin users by bringing it to a modern standard.
- Currently ibus-pinyin needs more user interactions to input a sentence than competitor input methods.
[edit] Scope
- Make ibus-pinyin easier to use by providing more intelligent predictive input of Chinese sentences.
- Use libpinyin as a back-end for ibus-pinyin. (done)
- libpinyin Large Web Corpus Training. (done)
- Rewrite full pinyin/double pinyin/chewing parsers. (done)
- In Fedora 17 the remaining tasks are:
- Improve the libpinyin self-learning code; (done)
[edit] How To Test
- Check whether "Intelligent Pinyin" is listed in ibus-setup dialog and default ime list.
- Try to add "Intelligent Pinyin" to ime list, begin to use the new pinyin ime.
- Get some testing sentences, and input them under both "Pinyin" and "Intelligent Pinyin". Note whether the "Intelligent Pinyin" reduces the number of key presses required to enter the sentence.
[edit] User Experience
- With the libpinyin back end, Chinese users can speed up the pinyin input speed by pressing less keys.
[edit] Dependencies
- Need to modify ibus-pinyin code to integrate ibus-pinyin with libpinyin, and push patch upstream.
[edit] Contingency Plan
libpinyin is already in testing currently in F16 updates-testing but in worst case we could revert to current ibus-pinyin without libpinyin.
[edit] Documentation
[edit] Release Notes
ibus-pinyin with new libpinyin backend provides a more intelligent pinyin input method and speeds up the user input of Chinese characters.
