I’m a Hongkonger and often need to type in Chinese. While I can use input methods like Cangjie or Quick, I much prefer handwriting to keep in mind how to write the characters in a digital age.
So far, I have only seen open source keyboards without handwriting support. Does any of them exist?
I haven’t seen anything that meets your requirements.
Is there a chance that you could find an open source keyboard and a translation layer, like a software or an input card? I know it’s not ideal, but worth investigating.
are you sure that you don’t already have this built in? https://support.google.com/gboard/answer/9108773?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid
I’m using GBoard already, but I want to move to an open source one
Unfortunately I haven’t run across any either :/ Handwriting detection for even a single language/script can be very complicated to implement so I understand why it’s rare in open-source keyboard options, but I’ll keep an eye out just in case I find one.
