The house of Babel

Maybe many times you tried to input pinyin with tones, like

ā á ǎ à

Maybe you racked your brains to do that, but still did not find the right way.

I had the same problem before when I was a student in Hiroshima University. Always we had to use some special programs.

One time I tried the 金山词霸, after I downloaded that one, all my system got messed up. It was so heavy, and it also changed all the set up to 金山词霸’s default set up.

I used Chinese Writer for a little while, which was based on the 中日,日中词典(小学馆).

There was a good function in that. You can turn on the input bar, so you can find the different ways of inputting. Inputting Pinyin(拼音) with tones(声调) is there too.
