Hello, it's me, Guileless Bopomofo Keyboard.I have implemented most features of libchewing (https://chewing.im/), to provide you a choice of Bopomofo software keyboard (aka input method editor).
* Unlike other similar products, though I don't have fuzzy, error-tolerance design, I do still have ability to predict possible phrases by context, and I do remember phrases from your typing history automatically.
* Besides the most common "DaChen", I also provide you "Hsu", "E-Ten 26 keys", and "DaChen CP26" Bopomofo keyboard layouts.
* I also support physical keyboard input with the same layout options, so you can use a consistent Bopomofo experience across virtual and hardware keyboards.

WhatsNew:
Hi there! Guileless Bopomofo 5.2.1 keeps getting easier to use for everyone.
* With TalkBack, the cursor actions now really move the cursor, and it says where it is.
* Long-press keys work with screen readers, and passwords stay unspoken.
* Candidates no longer get cut off at large font sizes.
* Clearer tabs, switches and radio buttons in the light theme.
* Physical keyboard tips now sit in a tidy card.
Thanks for using it!
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
