Pure Pinyin

Pure Pinyin is designed for all my brothers and sisters serving Jehovah in the Chinese speaking field. (Acts 16:9,10) When preparing talks, items or studies in Chinese, I have found that being able to write Pinyin with tone marks, or convert a piece of Chinese text into Pinyin is very useful. I hope that this app can help you too to do your work more efficiently.

KEYBOARD

This app provides a keyboard that writes Pinyin with correctly placed tone marks in any app! The keyboard also provides you with suggestions so that you can more easily and quickly write correct pinyin. It also remembers what you usually write and suggests the most common words.

To activate, open the settings app, go to General -> Keyboard -> Keyboards -> Add New Keyboard.
Select Pure Pinyin and you can start using the pinyin keyboard to write Pinyin in any app.

Select the Pinyin keyboard by pressing the globe icon on your regular keyboard and selecting ”Pīnyīn - Pure Pinyin".

When writing Pinyin, just choose which tone you want and it will be added to the latest syllable, over the correct vowel. To change the tone, just choose another one and it will be corrected.

As you start typing you get suggestions popping up next to the tone keys. Just pick the one you need. If there are more than can fit the screen, you can scroll to the left and right to find what you need.

Sometimes you need to write a "v", so if you hold down the "ü" key for a second, it writes a "v" instead.

CONVERTER

Offline conversion from Hanzi to Pinyin! No need to use online tools to convert Hanzi to Pinyin!

Please note that this app does not translate Chinese into any other language, but only romanizes it using Pinyin.
