Abstract
A system and method for inputting Chinese characters using Pinyin without requiring the entry of a delimiter key between Pinyin entries in a reduced keyboard is disclosed. The system searches for all possible single or multiple Pinyin spellings based on the entered Latin alphabets. Once the user has completed the inputting of the Pinyin spellings for desired Chinese phrase or characters, all possible matching phrases or characters are displayed on screen and off-screen due to screen size. The user then scrolls through a list of matching phrases or characters and selects the desired one by clicking.
