Cantoboard 專為廣東話用家設計,支援多種輸入法,界面貼近 iOS 內置鍵盤,打字流暢自然。輸入聯想、聲調篩選、錯字修正等功能一應俱全,仲可以中英文混合輸入,打字從此快靚正! 【支援嘅輸入法】 ⁕ 粵拼(香港語言學學會粵語拼音方案) ⁕ 耶魯/劉錫祥拼音 ⁕ 九宮格粵拼 ⁕ 倉頡 ⁕ 速成 ⁕ 筆劃 ⁕ 普通話拼音 ⁕ 英文(美國、英國、澳洲、加拿大) 長撳/向下掃鍵盤右上角個掣即可切換輸入法。 無論你係初學拼音定本身識耶魯/劉錫祥拼音,我哋都建議學習粵拼,因為粵拼係社會各界事實上嘅標準拼音方案,最能夠準確標示粵語嘅發音。而耶魯/劉錫祥因為有規則令某啲字母同時對應多個唔同嘅發音,增加學習成本,而且又缺乏某啲韻母,唔能夠標示廣東話一部分嘅音節,因此我哋唔建議學習同使用。https://jyutping.org/blog/scheme/ 有更詳盡嘅説明。 【特色】 • 界面設計緊貼 iOS 內置鍵盤風格,提供同內置鍵盤一致嘅用户體驗。 • 支援詞組輸入,可以成個詞語一次過打完先確認,唔使逐隻字打。詞庫包含大量廣東話及書面中文字詞,毋須憂慮罕用字詞打唔出。 • 候選詞會根據使用頻率排序,常用啲嘅字詞會自動排先,罕見字詞排後,次序綜合香港廣東話同書面中文嘅使用習慣,例如「嘅」同「的」會排先。 • 提供更豐富嘅字母同符號可供選擇,長撳任何一粒字母或者符號掣,跟住向左右拉到你想打嘅字元着咗之後放手就打到。 • 喺廣東話拼音輸入法,可以撳「r」、「x」、「v」呢 3 個掣嚟代替二合字母「aa」、「ng」同「oe/eo」,減少撳掣次數。僅當聲調輸入方式為長撳時生效。 • 長撳鍵盤上面嘅一粒掣就可以來回切換繁簡體字,方便臨時需要輸入某個俗字或者減筆字。 • 只要喺個刪除掣向左掃一下,就可以將成個輸入碼剷走,唔使逐個逐個字母剷或者撳實個刪除掣慢慢等。 【功能與選項】 有啲功能唔啱使?唔使擔心,以下所有功能喺程式設定度都有得改咖。 ◆ 候選詞相關功能 • 輸入法會記低你打過嘅詞彙,喺下次打字嗰陣優先顯示。長撳候選詞可以刪除記憶。本程式唔會用到網絡,因此記憶只會儲存喺你嘅裝置,我哋亦冇任何途徑可以收集到你輸入過嘅詞彙。 • 打字途中會預測同埋建議下一個字詞作為聯想詞(關聯字),幫你慳返幾粒掣。 • 中英文可以撈埋一齊打,輸入法會同時顯示中英文候選詞,毋須切換輸入法。 • 成日唔小心撳錯掣?唔怕,無論打中文定英文,就算串錯字,都會自動幫你糾正同顯示正確嘅候選詞。 ◆ 輸入相關功能 • 喺設定度有得揀即時輸入模式,喺呢個模式底下,打咗嘅字唔使經確認就會預先輸出落個輸入框度。 • 長撳字母掣可以直接輸入符號或者數字,毋須轉去符號版面再切換返嚟。 • 標點符號會自動根據前文揀選適當嘅形態。打緊中文嗰陣會出全形標點符號,例如「,」,打緊英文嗰陣會出半形標點符號,例如「,」。 • 撳兩下空格可以快速輸入中文句號(「。」)或者英文句點(「.」)。 • 喺句子開頭,字母會自動大楷。 ◆ 唔識讀某個字?某個詞語唔知粵拼點串? • 用非粵拼輸入法打字嘅時候,候選詞下面會顯示粵拼,幫助用户學習廣東話讀音同粵拼串法。 • 喺廣東話拼音輸入法可以長撳 r 掣揀選其他輸入法進入反查模式,臨時用第二隻輸入法打一個字詞,輸入完成之後會自動返返去原本嘅輸入法,唔使成個鍵盤轉去另一隻輸入法再切換返嚟。 • 如果除咗廣東話拼音輸入法之外其他輸入法都唔識,可以長撳 r 掣揀選「兩分」輸入法,將一個字拆成兩個部件輸入嚟反查該字,例如「文 (man)」+「武 (mou)」=「斌 (ban)」,因此輸入「manmou」就可以得出「斌」字。 ◆ 太多候選字,好難揾? • 廣東話拼音輸入法提供兩個方式輸入聲調嚟篩選候選詞,減少選項數目,助你更快揾到想輸入嘅字。 ‣ 喺預設情況底下,開始打字之後其中 6 個字母右上角會有提示,長撳呢 6 個掣就可以打到聲調。 ‣ 如果想打得快啲,唔想長撳,可以喺設定揀選 vxq 模式,改咗之後就可以用呢 3 個掣嚟打第 1、2、3 聲,撳多次同一個掣可以打第 4、5、6 聲。 • 同 iOS 內置中文輸入法一樣,展開候選字頁面之後,向上轆就可以見到有得揀根據部首、筆劃或者粵拼嚟排列候選字。

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cantoboard at 80% against 百度's 44%. Cantoboard also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 12). 百度's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (31K vs 3). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
