Faster than pinyin

Jade Gazebo requires fewer keypresses than pinyin, and you never need to select your desired character from a long list of candidates.

Ninety-eight percent (98%) of the time, there is no list of candidates at all. (And when there is a list, it only has two or three items.)

Intuitive

Jade Gazebo can be grasped instantly without study or classes.

Other methods (like Cangjie, Wubi, or Four Corner) require the user to memorize shapes and rules. Jade Gazebo uses graphical feedback to assist the user instead.

Universal

Jade Gazebo can be used by anyone who knows written Chinese, regardless of their native dialect.

It is often assumed that practically every Chinese resident knows Mandarin. But that’s not true. Tests show that only 53% of China’s population can communicate in Mandarin.

Blind typing

Jade Gazebo allows you to type “blind” (without looking at the screen), with less training than Cangjie or Wubi. This is useful for professional typists.

Jade Gazebo: Simple enough for beginners; perfect for professionals.
