## What is RiceKey Wubi Keyboard?

RiceKey is a native iPhone keyboard made for people who type Chinese with Wubi. It feels as quiet and fast as the system keyboard. The only difference: it speaks Wubi.

WUBI + PINYIN, SWITCH ANYTIME
• Complete Wubi 86 and Wubi 98 code tables, 130,000+ entries each, switchable in one tap, Trie-indexed for instant lookup
• Import your own code table (RIME format) for any other scheme
• Level 1 / 2 / 3 short codes, each with its own toggle
• Auto-commit when a 4-key code has a unique match
• Z wildcard key for the radical you can't quite recall
• Pinyin mode and Wubi/Pinyin mixed mode, so a forgotten code never forces a keyboard switch
• Code hints on every candidate, so you learn codes while you type

TWO LAYOUTS
• Full QWERTY with swipe-up numbers and symbols
• Nine-key T9 layout for one-handed Wubi

LEARNS THE WAY YOU TYPE
• Frequency learning puts the words you use most at the front
• Custom words with your own codes
• Simplified / Traditional output toggle

BUILT-IN TOOLS
• Calculator: type 12*3= and get the answer right in the keyboard
• Emoji panel, temporary English mode, automatic Chinese punctuation
• One-tap Wubi 86 / 98 switch in the keyboard's gear panel

PRACTICE MODE: LEARN WUBI FROM ZERO
• Radical drills on a real keyboard layout: learn, then test
• Graded character drills: level-1 and level-2 short codes, common full codes
• Passage typing on the real RiceKey keyboard and engine, with radicals shown on the keys and a Simplified / Traditional switch; built-in short stories and classic texts, or paste your own
• Wrong-answer book and progress stats

PRIVACY: 100% OFFLINE
• Does not request Full Access
• No network requests, no analytics SDK
• Frequency data and custom words never leave your device

APPEARANCE
• Light / Dark follows the system, with warm paper and warm ink palettes
• Key sounds and haptics can be toggled separately

REQUIREMENTS
iOS 16 or later.

After installing, enable it in Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard → RiceKey.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.43 — 2026-09-15

Added the Wubi 98 code table with a one-tap 86 / 98 switch in the keyboard's gear panel and in the app. Import your own code table (RIME format); frequency data and custom words are kept per scheme.
New practice mode: radical drills on a real keyboard layout, graded character drills (level-1 / level-2 short codes, common full codes), passage typing on the real RiceKey keyboard and engine (radicals on the keys, Simplified / Traditional switch, built-in stories and classic texts, or paste your own), a wrong-answer book and progress stats.
Key hints now show the actual Chinese punctuation, larger; the symbol panel gains the enumeration comma 、.
