Jyutping keyboard is a precise, fluent and easy-to-use Cantonese input method.
It fully supports the LSHK Jyutping romanization system, helping you type quickly and accurately, and making the typing experience effortless and enjoyable.
With Jyutping, every input reinforces your pronunciation. The more you type with Jyutping, the more proficient you'll become in Cantonese.
It's ready to use right out of the box; no complicated setup required.
Completely free, open source, and ad-free. Works entirely offline, so you never have to worry about privacy concerns.
You can reverse lookup Jyutping using input methods you're familiar with, such as Mandarin Pinyin, Cangjie, Quick (Sucheng), or Stroke input.
Keyboard feature highlights:
• Regular Jyutping input: For example, neihou → 你好.
• Abbreviated input with Jyutping initials: For example, nh / nhou / neih → 你好.
• Accurate input with Jyutping tones: Type precisely while helping learners become familiar with Cantonese tones.
• Jyutping annotations/hints on candidates: Makes it easier to get started, while letting you practice, review, and correct pronunciation.
• Supports Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters: Freely switch between scripts. Traditional characters follow both Hong Kong and Taiwan standards.
• Reverse lookup with Mandarin Pinyin: Start with r, then enter Mandarin Pinyin (e.g., rlin → 林).
• Reverse lookup with Cangjie or Quick (Sucheng): Start with v, then enter Cangjie or Quick code (e.g., vdd → 林).
• Reverse lookup with Stroke input: Start with x, then enter Stroke code (e.g., xwsad → 木).

• Emoji candidate suggestions: Match Cantonese words. For example, typing “daai cung (大蟲)” gives you the tiger emoji.
