you you how to get the characters to display in a string when you type the pinyin so you can choose the right character?
like when you type: xiexie
then underneath is: 1写 2些 3谢 4些 5鞋 6斜

你好!
I’m learning Mandarin Chinese and was happy typing Simplified characters,but always wished I could type in Traditional, while still typing mand, not cantonese without all the strange symbols for "speed typing"。
謝謝你。
再見。
