Description

Learning Chinese ? Difficult to communicate in Chinese characters ?
This app provides a keyboard for learners of Chinese. Type the first few letters of a Chinese word in Pinyin and see possible matches with the full pinyin word, the Chinese characters (Hanzi) and an English translation to help you chose the right word.
Many learners are not able to comfortably use the builtin iOS Chinese keyboards, because they require full familiarity with Chinese characters and their meaning. Pinyin Pengyou allows even a brand new learner with only a handful of pinyin words to begin to type Chinese characters comfortably on their iPhone or iPad.
Enable the keyboard in settings and give it full access so it can search the dictionaries. Use the keyboard in any iOS app, by selecting from the globe icon on the on-screen keyboard.
In the Pinyin Pengyou app you can select from a list of dictionaries up to a level which matches the words you have learnt. HSK levels 1 to 6 (and beyond). TOCFL levels 1 to 4. Pimsleur Mandarin up to level III. You may also add additional custom words and phrases with translations of your own. A dictionary of country names is also provided. The main screen of the app provides access to the word lists for each dictionary. All Suggestible words list only the words in the selected dictionaries. All Words list every word in every dictionary.
When the keyboard appears, start typing a pinyin word. Matching words with full pinyin, hanzi and a translation are displayed above the keyboard. Swipe the suggestions left and right to see every matching word. Tap a suggestion to enter the word, press return or space to just enter the roman letters typed so far. Tap and hold a suggestion to display the full definition over the keyboard, just tap the definition to dismiss.
In the app settings, haptic and/or audio feedback can be enabled for key presses and one of three keyboard layouts QWERTY, AZERTY or QWERTZ may be selected.
Downloading the app is free, and without a subscription, only pinyin words will be entered into your documents. Subscribe to the app with either a low monthly, six-monthly or annual fee to enable the ability to write in Chinese hanzi. Press the info button to show the subscription offers if not already subscribed.
The app keeps track of how many times words are used and it suggests more frequently used words first. No data is transmitted beyond your device.

Pinyin is a romanization of Mandarin. Pengyou is the Chinese word for friend !

Pinyin Pengyou Reviews

Want to try it but….

The developer wants full access to transmissions of anything you type… That’s a hard pass for me unfortunately. It looks like it could be a very useful app otherwise. It’s reasonably priced for what it offers. Just let me keep my privacy please.
