WP8/WP8.1 keyboard is actually the Bing input method

Computer shop news: Yesterday, Bing input method to log into the Android system, support sliding input method, and can be synchronized with the desktop version of Bing input method cloud, and then WP users feel that Microsoft must not wait to see their own system, how Do not support the WP8 system first? In fact, the built-in keyboard of WP8 and WP8.1 is originally Bing input method technical support.

▲ Among them, there are currently 9 Chinese input methods for WP8 keyboard.

WP8.1 built-in keyboard has the following advantages:

• WP8.1 keyboard dictionary will be backed up in the background, when you use other mobile phones or new systems Prompt you “ whether to restore the dictionary & rdquo;.

• The background will regularly update popular, network vocabulary and so on.

• Self-created words are recorded in the dictionary after the first input is completed.

• Security is guaranteed, Microsoft system first party production, privacy protection. Of course, such as the import of contacts function can not be achieved because of permissions.

• Fusion with WP8.1 system style. Third-party input methods tend to be designed by themselves and do not match the system.

About WP8.1 keyboard can not be synchronized and backed up, in fact, people who do not understand will say this. The WP8.1 keyboard can't be synchronized with the desktop version of the Bing input method, because it is not currently in a system. But the vocabulary of the phone itself does not reset the dictionary and will not be lost.

WP8.1 built-in keyboard has the following shortcomings:

• does not support sliding input method

• does not support long sentence association input, can only associate phrase

• Smart error correction is not supported.

• Due to the built-in input method, some new features may need to be updated with the system.

At present, the official version of Windows Phone 8.1 has not been pushed. It is unclear whether the official version will add more features. Expect the sliding input method and long sentence input to join early. These features are currently being channeled to Microsoft via the channel. Although Apple iOS8 has opened up third-party input methods, personally, it is hoped that Microsoft will continue to improve the built-in input method, rather than relying on loss of security, open third-party input methods.

Finally: From the WP7 era, Windows Phone built-in input method is known for its simplicity and elegance, and Lenovo's powerful input. It also adds Chinese 12-key input method early, which also satisfies more users. demand. I also hope that the WP8.1 slide input method will come as soon as possible. A simple, safe and reliable input method is the most important.
