Price History of ToneBoard Keyboard

Description of ToneBoard Keyboard

It can be very difficult for language learners to remember Mandarin Chinese tones, especially when using language learning apps and typing with standard Pinyin keyboards. These keyboards don't require you to input tones, making it very easy to type the correct characters without knowing the correct tones. These keyboards also tend to remember your frequently used words or suggest complete phrases, which is not helpful for language learners. By requiring you to enter tones along with Pinyin spellings before displaying characters, ToneBoard lets you practice recalling the correct tone for each syllable whenever you type. ToneBoard works very similarly to the standard simplified Chinese QWERTY keyboard for iOS, except that it requires tones to be input while typing before displaying word and character choices.

The best way to learn Chinese character tones
Using this app with Duo Lingo is the best way to truly learn the tones of Chinese characters.

Using the standard pinyin keyboard tends to provide you with a false sense of confidence and makes it much harder to recall the tone of a character later on.

I feel 10x more confident with my Chinese character reading and writing after using this app.

Great app to learn Chinese tones
I’ve been using Duolingo for learning Chinese and realizing that I have a hard time remembering the words. This helps a lot forcing me to actually learn how to write and the correct pronunciation. The developer is quick to implement some changes I suggested as well.
