Description: Plain Hanzi Editor - simple editor that allows to type texts in (simplified) Chinese.
With this editor you can: - type pinyin by inputting "ang4" and receiving "àng". - type simplified Chinese by inputting "kuzi" and receiving "裤子". - type English and Russian. - convert from simplified forms to traditional and backward. - convert whole phrases from "raw" pinyin to pinyin with tone marks. - (experimental) convert from simplified Chinese hieroglyphs into pinyin. - search the necessary hieroglyph by its radical and stroke count. - search the necessary hieroglyph by its pinyin. - search the necessary hieroglyph by its meaning in English. - draw the necessary hieroglyph by hand.
You can also search hieroglyphs, words, and phrases in Chinese and Russian in the "Большой китайско-русский словарь".
All the information about Chinese hieroglyphs was obtained from the Unicode Han Database (http://www.unicode.org/Public/5.0.0/ucd/Unihan.html).
Other capabilities: - reading from and writing to any available encoding. - additional information about hieroglyphs (reading, meaning, stroke count etc.) from the Unicode Han Database.Last changelog:
1.0.1: - The program now uses enca to automatically determine encoding (this feature of course can be switched off) - Some improvements in the handwriting recognition options (see Preferences) - Fixed several bugs in the graphical interface
I've been looking for an offline piece of software like this for Linux for so long, I even got part way through writing one myself before I found this. This is fantastic.
Qt-apps reports this was last updated in 2009. Have you considered moving the source code to github or sourceforge? I would love to see this project continued and binary-packaged for various distributions, I'm willing to help out with this if you're interested
