Rime with your keystrokes.

A modular, extensible input method engine in cross-platform C++ code, built on top of open-source technologies
Covering features found in a large variety of Chinese input methods, either shape-based or phonetic-based
Built with native support for Traditional Chinese, conversion to Simplified Chinese and other regional standards via OpenCC
Rime input schema, a DSL in YAML syntax for fast trying out innovative ideas of input method design
Spelling Algebra, a mechanism to create variant spelling, especially useful for Chinese dialects
Support for chord-typing with a generic Qwerty keyboard
