About:
Squirrel is the input method engine for the Rime (Rime Input Method Engine) project. It provides a powerful and flexible framework for Chinese input methods, supporting various schemas like Pinyin, Wubi, and Cangjie. It focuses on user customization and intelligent phrase prediction.
Key Features:
  • Highly customizable input schemas
  • Intelligent phrase prediction and learning
  • Support for multiple Chinese input methods
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Typing Chinese characters efficiently
  • Customizing input methods for specific workflows
  • Learning and predicting user typing habits
Alternatives:
  • OpenVanilla – Another open-source input method framework, though Rime is often preferred for deeper customization.
  • Pinyin input (system default) – Standard OS input, less flexible than Rime's schema-based approach.
