Virtual keyboard with Chinese Input Method Editor(IME)

Main Usage

• Chinese fonts are needed. My recommendation is Noto, which is free.
• Text Mesh Pro is compulsory.
• [Optional] If you want to generate a new Chinese dictionary:
• A Chinese word list under the Python directory, named wordfreq.txt, formatted as [Chinese word]\t[frequency].
• pip install pinyin and run cn_parser.py.
• Open Unity Editor, click Tools > Construct Py Prefab to open the generator, input the Chinese word list and hash txt path, and click generate to get the prefab.
• For example, if the list you generated is Assets\WPinyin\Dictionary\PinyinWords-words.json, then input Assets\WPinyin\Dictionary\PinyinWords.
• You can also select how many words you need in the list. The words will be selected based on frequency, with high-frequency words having higher priorities.
• Open the KeyBoard prefab, drag the word prefab you just generated onto the pyCode field.
• [Optional] If you want to generate a new English word dictionary:
• An English word list under the Python directory, named en_freq.txt, with a title in the first line, formatted as [Word]\t[PoS]\t[Freq].
• Run en_parser.py.
