libchewing - The intelligent phonetic input method library http://chewing.csie.net/ [-] History libchewing is derived from Chewing input method, a xcin module focusing on intelligent phonetic processing by Lu-chuan Kung (lckung) and Kang-pen Chen (kpchen). However, the original authors of Chewing dropped its development, and Chewing was highly bonded with xcin, which prevents from wider applications. [-] Motivation Jim Huang started to separate core algorithm and logic layer of Chewing since 2002, and he integrated his efforts into a Chinese terminal named JMCCE as a part of its input method modules. Also, he attempts to let more applications adapt his efforts, so that new contributors created (New) Chewing Project as the infrastructure with writing new bridges among JMCCE, XCIN, IIIMF, SCIM, OpenVanilla, MS-IME, etc. [-] Status 1. bridge integration - works with xcin. - works with JMCCE. - works with IIIMF. - works with SCIM. - works with MacOS X (SpaceChewing). - works with Sun's Java Desktop System Input Method Framework. - works with OpenVanilla Input Method Framework. - works as standalone IME for native Win32 (win32-chewing). - works with OXIM. 2. support phonetic keyboard layout - Hsu - IBM - Gin-Yieh - Eten - Eten 26 keys - Dvorak - Dvorak Hsu - HanYu PinYin [-] Installation # ./configure --prefix=/usr (If you checkout from svn, make sure running ./autogen.sh before this.) # make # make install see "INSTALL" for details.
