Echo IM vs Feiyu Pinyin IME

Echo turns your most-used phrases into a keyboard. Copy any text → tap [+] to save it as a card → tap a card to paste it into any app. No more repetitive typing. [ CARD KEYBOARD · ONE TAP AWAY ] A horizontal grid of cards, grouped by Collection. Tap any card and the text is instantly inserted into the current field. Addresses, signatures, support replies, intros — always one tap away. [ AI POLISH ] The first cell on the keyboard is AI Polish. Tap it to rewrite the text before your cursor — each tap rotates through styles (smart → formal → concise → friendly → child-like → funny). Up to 3 results sit side-by-side for comparison. Tap the one you like to replace the original. • Built-in Echo MiniMax with a free quota, ready out of the box • Or bring your own API key: OpenAI / Claude / ZAI / MiniMax / Apple Foundation Models — unlimited [ CARD LIBRARY ] Organize cards in the main app: favorite, categorize, create, edit, reorder, backup & restore. Ships with official Collections (sales scripts, support replies, etc.) ready to use. [ TRULY LOCAL PRIVACY ] • Card data stays 100% on your device — no upload, no sync, no tracking • AI polish only reaches the network when you tap it, and only the text before your cursor is sent • No analytics, no tracking, no ad SDKs [ 2-STEP SETUP ] 1. Settings → Apps → Echo → enable Echo keyboard 2. Turn on "Allow Full Access" (required for AI polish) Long-press the globe while typing to switch to Echo. Echo doesn't try to be an all-in-one keyboard. It does one thing perfectly: your most-used phrases, always one tap away. Requires iOS 26.2 or later (Liquid Glass / Foundation Models).

Feiyu Pinyin IME is a privacy-focused Chinese Pinyin input method powered by a self-developed local engine. It runs entirely offline with zero network access - no tracking, no data collection, no uploads. Smart Pinyin Guidance As you type, valid next letters are highlighted while invalid ones fade, helping you navigate the keyboard faster. Combined with phrase prediction and a large local dictionary, your typing is smooth and efficient. Smart Correction One or two wrong letters are still understood: missed keys, mistyped keys and fuzzy sounds are corrected on-device, using only your own dictionary, domain packs and past words. You can also turn on "Use neural network matching" to let an on-device model rank candidates, so long sentences and homophones come out in the right order - all offline. Flow Commit (experimental) Confirmed words commit automatically - no need to tap each candidate, and words commit as whole units instead of being split. Choose a Conservative / Standard / Aggressive tier; enable it in Settings, with a free trial for non-subscribers. 9-key (T9) & 26-key Layouts Both a full 26-key QWERTY layout and a 9-key (T9) grid are supported - long-press the 中/En key to switch. T9 decoding runs entirely on-device, with full / abbreviated / mixed pinyin, syllable selection and segment-by-segment commit. While you type it decodes lightly and only runs full precision when you pause, so long sentences stay smooth. Self-developed Local Engine All pinyin conversion, phrase matching, and prediction happen on-device. No cloud dependency means zero network latency and absolute privacy. QWERTY + Swipe Typing Full QWERTY layout with swipe-to-type support and dual-label keys (letters + numbers). Backspace swipe gestures for clearing or batch deleting text, and swipe down to undo a deletion. Email & URL Typing Type @ and common suffixes such as @qq.com, @163.com and @gmail.com appear as candidates - one tap to complete. In email and URL fields, the punctuation keys switch to @ and .com. Domain Dictionaries (membership) Switch on any of 15 domain packs: real estate, construction, astronomy, tendering, campus, chemistry, coding, geography, history, romance, management, music, physics, comebacks, internet slang. Type the full pinyin and the word comes up directly. Packs are injected only while the keyboard is on screen - never saved to your learned words. Advanced Features (some are membership perks, with a free trial) • Cursor mode: long-press a trigger key (G on 26-key / ' on punctuation / 5 on 9-key) and drag to move the cursor • Clipboard history: long-press the space bar to bring up copied text and tap to insert it • One-handed mode: shrink the keyboard to one side; swipe the space bar to switch hands Beautiful Themes 20 premium keyboard themes (free + membership) - all keys change color instantly when you switch. Popup System Long-press a/e keys for punctuation popups, l key for emoji - all in an 18-cell grid layout. Absolute Privacy Unlike keyboards that require "Allow Full Access", Feiyu Pinyin IME works without it. The keyboard extension has zero network capability - system-enforced isolation means your keystrokes stay on your device. Subscription & Lifetime • Monthly / Yearly subscription: unlock domain dictionaries, popup customization, flip animations, backspace gestures and more • Lifetime: one-time purchase, all premium features forever Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://lanceryoung.github.io/policy/pinyin/privacy.html
