Hi everyone out there needing to input Vietnamese - I'm doing a (free) Vietnamese input keyboard (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like Unikey) for Android phones called Sophia. This has been brewing since March, and is starting to get some traction a lot of active users (1000 or so after a month).
It's a fast Vietnamese input method where one would not have to input tone marks -- inputting tone marks is a pain in the ass for mixed English-Vietnamese input. It is quite intelligent and can predict words better than any of the existing keyboards. I think it would be best if I would release the software as open source. The published source includes all the modifications that I have made from the Android stock keyboard, as well as a some quick and dirty programs in a toolkit I wrote for analyzing unigrams and bigrams for linguistic research. Probably useful if you need to have predictive input on your website too. https://github.com/htruong/sophia_oss Everything should be sufficient for you to build it for yourself. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike about this project, and of course bugfixes are welcome.
