About Stroke Input Method (筆畫輸入法)
Stroke Input Method is an Android keyboard for entering Chinese characters by typing their strokes in order. For example, 天 is entered as ㇐㇐㇒㇔. It supports over 28,000 characters, including vernacular Cantonese characters. You can set it to prefer traditional or simplified characters.
It is deliberately minimalist. It suits people who know how characters are written but do not use a phonetic system such as pinyin or jyutping, and people who want an open-source Chinese keyboard.
