New Cool Sound Input Method

New Cool Sound is a development project that continues the famous "Cool Sound Input Method". In order to avoid name confusion, this development project is specifically referred to as "New Cool Sound"

The (New) Sewing/New Cool Sound Project gathers many development resources to establish a series of software related to intelligent phonetic input methods that comply with the Free/Open Source Software standards, and are widely used by traditional/regular Chinese users. The so-called "intelligent phonetic input method" refers to accepting users' input of phonetic symbols and rhymes, and then based on context, users' past input habits, probability or specific selection strategies, listing and filtering the words that users expect. Such systems have been popular in Taiwan for a long time, such as the natural input method, the Heaven Reliant Forgetting Input Method, or Microsoft's new phonetic input method, which are representative of this aspect. However, these are all... Commercial software with a limited platform for execution.

Therefore, the (New) Sewing/New Cool Sound project attempts to develop as free software and emphasizes the usability of multiple platforms. Currently, it can operate on platforms such as MS Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Mac OS X, and widely supports multiple input method architectures.
