"Miao" is the pinyin of the Chinese character " 喵", which just like "meow" in English, is "the characteristic crying sound of a cat" (from Oxford American Dictionaries). But I can assume that it will be certainly free, as freedom!
It may be licensed under GPL or BSD license, it's not decided yet. As a instance, for the pinyin word "yaoming", if the sentence comes with "huojian"(火箭/Rockets), "maidi"(麦迪/ McGrady), it's more likely to be "姚明"(Yao Ming the NBA player) If the sentence comes with "can"(惨/misery), it's more likely to be "要命"(Kill me!). The word with the highest probability will get ordered first. Non-continuos word probability will be used for candidate word sorting. My focus will be on "learning"įor each sentence you input, it will record the words within the sentence, including continuos words and non-continuos words, and calculated for probability.Ĭontinuos word probability will be used to auto-learn new words, that is, if there's a high probability that two known words will comes together, they will be formed as a new word. I won't focus on pre-train dictionaries, just like Sogou Pinyin or Google Pinyin. It will learn user's accustoming and finally become a essential tool in inputing (after some training). Miao will be a smart pinyin input method, designed for people who likes to input a whole sentence once.
ITABC (comes with Mac) and Pinyin Module in OpenVanilla isn't a smart input method QIM is smart but it's a shareware, and a expensive shareware (USD 19.99 or RMB 69.00, but only for one major version free update) FIT is smarter than ITABC and free (for charge), but is not smart enough and I don't like some of its feature but can't turn them off. The answer is simple: the current pinyin input methods on Mac doesn't satisfy me.
