Google Pinyin, as of March 2019, has been discontinued and is no longer available for download. This means that users who relied on Google Pinyin for Chinese input on their devices will need to find alternative input methods.
However, Google does offer another input method for typing in Asian languages called Google Japanese Input. While this may not be a direct replacement for Google Pinyin, it can still be useful for users who need to input Japanese characters.
Google Japanese Input is available for various platforms including Windows, Android, Android Tablet, Google Chrome, and Mac. It provides a virtual keyboard and supports various input methods such as romaji, kana, handwriting recognition, and voice input.
One alternative to Google Pinyin that is specifically designed for Chinese input is Sogou Pinyin. Sogou Pinyin is a popular input method for typing in Chinese characters and is available for Windows, Android, and iOS. It offers features like intelligent word prediction, various input methods, and customizable settings.
Another alternative is Baidu Pinyin, which is developed by Baidu, one of the largest search engines in China. Baidu Pinyin offers similar features to Google Pinyin and is available for Windows, Android, and iOS.
Both Sogou Pinyin and Baidu Pinyin have their own strengths and weaknesses, so it may be worth trying out both to see which one better suits your needs. Some users may also prefer using the built-in input methods provided by their operating system or other third-party input methods available in app stores.
