Panda Zhuyin

Panda Zhuyin — steady Zhuyin (Bopomofo) and Taiwanese typing. Mandarin and Taiwanese are both written in Zhuyin. Panda Zhuyin packs the symbols into a few large keys you won't miss: tap for the center symbol, flick for the ones around it, and every tap or flick gives one definite result. Impossible combinations are grayed out. Two keyboard layouts, switch any time · Rime Bars: flick for initials; rimes sit in three bars, one per cell, following the Bopomofo chart · 10-Key: every key flicks, like native 10-key keyboards in Japanese and Korean; the tone key sits at the upper right, as on Rime Bars. An experimental Feature Phone arrangement is included Two typing styles, your habit · Continuous: keep typing, tones optional, even initials only; the keyboard works out where each character ends · Tone Ends the Syllable: a character ends when you type its tone; until then another key replaces what is there, and keys that cannot follow turn gray Taiwanese (Taigi) keyboard · Bopomofo Extended with all seven tones, checked tones, and nasal rimes; a Checked-Tone key on both layouts, and a Transform Key for voiced and nasal variants · Lexicon cross-checked from four public sources, including the Ministry of Education dictionary; Custom Vocabulary for Taiwanese · Romanization lookup between Bopomofo Extended, Tai-lo, and POJ; key labels can show the romanization as you type Editing and the toolbar · Hold Space and the whole keyboard becomes a trackpad, moving left, right, and between lines · Edit Tools: move the cursor and select one step at a time, then cut, copy, or paste; a Paste button sits on the toolbar · Pull the candidate bar down for more candidates, with toolbar buttons in the right column English, numbers, and symbols · English: QWERTY on Rime Bars; two letters per key on 10-Key, or a Japanese-style Phone Keypad · Calculator panel with a phone-style keypad; press = for the result · Full-width symbols with halfwidth too; brackets open and close on one key Help and Setup Assistant · Every feature demonstrated on a real keyboard, plus a setup checklist and quick start; the full manual is on the website · Setup Assistant at the top of Settings: answer a few questions and it picks your layout, typing style, and languages, redoable any time Make the keyboard yours · Theme editor: colors, corners, borders, and backgrounds (solid, gradient, or photo); basic editing is always free · Text size for keys and candidates is set once in Settings and applies to every theme · Five built-in fonts with continuous weight; glass finish tuned for light and dark Features · Open-source Homa composer that takes the previous word into account · Custom Vocabulary and learning from what you pick; hold a candidate to forget it · Separate learning data for Mandarin and Taiwanese; opt-in iCloud Sync to your own iCloud only · Candidate tabs, emoji suggestions, Chinese numerals and dates, one-handed mode, landscape, and VoiceOver Privacy · The keyboard never connects to the internet; your input and learning data stay on your device · "Allow Full Access" is used for haptics and sounds, the clipboard (paste, cut, copy), and opening the app (an Apple requirement); all of it stays on your device · Anonymous Product Survey: opt-in and off by default, with nothing you type and no identifiers About the subscription (Panda Supporter) Core typing is free forever, with three featured themes. Supporter is an auto-renewable subscription for appearance extras: featured theme packs, font switching, glass finish effects, background gradients, and more custom punctuation slots. Cancel anytime in Manage Subscriptions; what you made stays. Terms: https://panda-zhuyin.erikyin.net/terms.html Privacy: https://panda-zhuyin.erikyin.net/privacy.html Who this is not for (honestly) · You type comfortably on the built-in Zhuyin keyboard · You want cloud AI prediction; Gboard or SwiftKey fits better · You don't type Zhuyin or Taiwanese Requires iOS 18 or later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BLE Studio at none against Panda Zhuyin's 5. Panda Zhuyin's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
