I mean "other platform" includes not only Android and iOS, but also the web service. I have an idea about making Gaia Keyboard to web service.

Our keyboards are written in JavaScript and they may be web service using Service Workers like this:

<script src="//InputMethodServiceProvider/keyboard-client.js"/>
<input type="text" inputmethod="gaia-keyboard" lang="vo" />

This "Input Method Service Proverder" provides any IM (any keyboards, handwiriting pad, ...) in specific locale. So, any webapp or site author can provide input method that doesn't depends on the system of device. (It will be needed to prevent system IM.)

The keyboard served from IMSP works on client side. User can use this securely.


I know there is same idea, Google Input Tools. This is online service and user inputs are shared with Google (to query a word to dictionary).

Hi Masahiko,

Thanks for your kind word.

Could you be more specific on mozInputMethod API re-implementation?
Which platform would you like to see other than the ones I suggested
(Android) and trying currently (iOS)? Would you like to contribute to
developments on these bindings?

    Hi Tim,

    I'm a 3rd party keyboard developer for Firefox OS - Uninput (Unicode
    keyboard on Marketplace), JaK (Japanese keyboard on Github), RenJak
    (Full Japanese IME with kana-kanji transfer engine and word
    dictionary. Almost completed but never released).

    Your re-implementation of mozInputMethod API is very useful. And it
    is a hope for re-implement to other platforms, because the
    Marketplace is ruined for non-free privileged apps.

    Gaia Keyboard has many language that are only implemented on Firefox
    OS. They are all valuable.
    Many thanks to your work for Gaia Keyboard.
