Google Pinyin

Google China(Guge 谷歌) released a Pinyin input software this morning,only a few hours later,some positive or negative comments about this software have been found on the net.We are all curiously to see what the input soft is.

According to the introduction page,Google Pinyin has some popular features that have existed in other prevailing input softwares,such as Intelligent Sentences(智能组句),Prevailing Vocabulary(流行词汇),Traditional Chinese and GBK(繁体输入和 GBK 大字库),Priority Words(首字固顶),Character Stroke Input(笔划输入),and User-defined Phrases(自定义短语).

While some particular features may be their own inventions,like One Button Search(一键搜索),Synchronous Update(网络同步),Smart Correction(智能纠错) and English hint(英文提示).

The only Characteristic that appeals to me is the Synchronous Update,which is integrated with users' Google account.This feature is very convenient for us to export the data to other laptop.I also take Synchronous Update as kind of assurance when my operating system crashes unexpectedly one day.

网络同步

This the first edition,but Google China staffs are seemingly very confident,for the famous "beta" label cannot be found in the entire pages.But unfortunately,netizens have found some bugs,for example,punctuation can't be inputed among the phrase or sentence.

Generally speaking,Google Pinyin is much better than other products Google China(actually is Guge) has even released though it's mature.
