Key Features核心功能

  • A real Chinese IME first首先是好用的中文输入法

    Pinyin input built on librime, so it can be the input method you use all day.拼音输入基于 librime,可以放心当每天的主力输入法。

  • Live English preview英文实时预览

    While you type, the whole sentence shows in English, underlined, right where you are typing.边打字边在原位置显示整句英文(虚线标出),不用切到别的窗口。

  • Double-space to insert双击空格插入

    Choosing words never commits the translation; press space twice when the sentence is ready.选词时不会提交,整句满意了再双击空格插入。

  • Mix the two languages中英混打

    Write retain rate (保留率) and get "retention rate": the Chinese in brackets says what you mean.比如打 retain rate (保留率) 会得到 retention rate,括号里的中文告诉它你想说的是哪个词。

  • Polish your own English润色你写的英文

    Press Shift for English mode and SmartInput makes what you wrote sound more natural.按 Shift 切到英文模式,把你自己写的英文改得更地道。

Status现状

  1. Status: A working prototype runs on our own Macs. Next is a small test with people who write English at work every day.

    现状:原型已经在我们自己的 Mac 上跑起来了。下一步是找一小批每天用英文工作的人内测。

  2. Privacy: Chinese typing stays on your Mac. Only the sentence being translated is sent, and nothing you type is stored.

    隐私:中文输入完全在本机进行;只有要翻译的那句话会发出去,打过的内容不保存。
