## What is Cantoboard?

界面及使用方法和 iOS 內置鍵盤一致。離線輸入法引擎，唔會有 server 蒐集任何資訊。

廣東話輸入採用香港語言學會(LSHK)嘅粵拼方案。提供耶魯兼容模式。可以打聲調。可連貫輸入句子或詞語。唔識拼音嘅時候可以用倉頡、速成、筆畫或普通話拼音反查。
因爲耶魯拼音缺乏一啲韻母，如果要學，建議學習粵拼，粵拼先可以最準確表示字音。

和其他 keyboard 比較的優點：有學習模式。可以用倉頡、速成、筆畫或普通話一邊打字一邊認粵拼。

和 Kaiboard 比較的好處：廣東話模式有學習和智能功能。可以打聲調減少重複字。可按部首筆畫排列候選詞。粵拼和耶魯分開兩個模式，唔會打壞手勢。

和 iOS Gboard 比較的好處：Gboard 採用混雜模糊拼音，經常出現無厘頭候選詞，而且會打壞手勢。而且不能打聲調減少重複字。

英文輸入方式模仿iOS系統鍵盤。雙擊空格會輸入句號，識自動判斷大細楷。

中英文輸入皆具智能輸入及糾錯功能。標點符號會自動根據前文選擇半形/全形。

輸入法爲open source。如有任何問題和意見，歡迎去以下網址表達：https://github.com/Cantoboard/Cantoboard

### 5/5 — 非常好用嘅粵拼keyboard

*2023-10-19, version 1.1.13*

總體嚟講呢一隻係非常之好用嘅粵語拼音鍵盤。

我希望在未來可以增加嘅功能：emoji可以出現喺預選詞語提供給使用者選擇，呢個功能對於聊天嚟講係比較高頻使用嘅

### 5/5 — 同音字

*2023-10-15, version 1.1.13*

非常好用的輸入法。因為不是經常打字，有時會執筆忘字。如果可以有選同音字功能就完美了。

### 4/5 — 挺好，不過

*2023-03-04, version 1.1.12*

幾好用嘅一款鍵盤，但係可唔可以支持模糊拼音？

如今懶音已是普遍，支持包容懶音嘅輸入對於大部份人都會更加方便。

比如話而家想輸「你」同「來」嘅時候，就一定要輸「nei5」同「loi4」其實亦都可以支持拼爲「lei5」同「lei4」。

有或者「愛」哩個字，絕大部份人都會讀成「ngoi3」而唔係「oi3」，更加可以支持「ngoi3」哩個拼法。

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2022-05-05*

I love this app, it makes it so much easier to communicate in cantonese! I love that you can also type in Hanyu Pinyin, Changjie, Sucheng, and even stroke order! I also love the ability to switch between simplified and traditional characters seamlessly! 多謝晒！

Update: the newest update is even better! Chinese oral language support as well as a facelift and a restructure of the yale layout! Absolute 10/10!

### 4/5 — 可唔可以加耶魯拼音？

*2021-11-22, version 1.1.8*

都ok，不過本人覺得耶魯拼音對用廣東話做母語嘅人準啲

### 5/5 — 非常不错的输入法

*2021-11-12*

要是能支持自定义方案就好了，想用这个输入法打音形

### 5/5 — 最掂嘅粵拼鍵盤啦

*2021-09-24*

iOS最正嘅兩個粵拼鍵盤之一，呢隻同埋嗰隻「粵拼輸入法」

### 5/5 — Wonderful as I want

*2021-09-06, version 1.1.5*

係電腦用緊rime輸入，一直都想有手機版，好感動有人整左！用另一個輸入法一直都唔慣，這個有埋返查功能超超好!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2021-08-22*

Great keyboard for typing in Cantonese. I hope support / optimization for iPad can be added. The current version can be used on an iPad, but it doesn’t have a keyboard layout like system built-in keyboards.

**Developer response:** Hello, I just released a new build with first class iPad support. Would you mind trying it out? If you have any feedback, don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2021-06-25, version 1.1.4*

It’s awesome for people who are learning Cantonese!!!
