Wubi input method is so convenient, it was all the rage, why is it suddenly not popular?

Wubi input method is so convenient, it was all the rage, why is it suddenly not popular?

All in all, the Wubi input method has completely declined, mainly due to several reasons.

First of all, the Wubi input method has a high learning threshold.

Although the Wubi input method is very convenient and fast to use, it is not easy to learn. There are so many types of input methods, only the Wubi input method has appeared in the course of the training class, because it is too cumbersome, not only to memorize the root of the alignment with the 26 English letters, but also to be familiar with a variety of root combinations, in order to type the correct word. This kind of learning difficulty,Many people are discouraged,Finally choose the slower pinyin input method,Because many people are not engaged in typing for a living,So the speed is not so high。

Including the author has also learned Wubi input method,Finally chose to give up,Now it's very good to use pinyin input method。 Therefore, after entering the new century, the post-95 and post-00 groups, basically will not go to the Wubi input method, directly use Sogou, and other input methods.

Secondly, the pinyin input method is getting smarter and smarter.

The earliest pinyin input method,It's really very difficult to use,To input all the pinyin letters,And then you have to keep turning the page to find the text you want,Very slow。 Nowadays, with the blessing of Internet technology, Pinyin input method is becoming more and more intelligent. You don't need to enter all the pinyin, you can come out with the text you want.

And there is also a memory function, when you use this text often, it will continue to give priority to the first recommendation. Very smart for your typing needs.

Again, people don't have that high requirements for typing.

In the past, people wanted to type fast, and many of them did so because of the needs of their work. For example, typists, translators, etc., nowadays, some jobs have been eliminated, and some have the tools to replace them. For ordinary people, it is enough to use the pinyin input method, and there is no need to waste time to learn the Wubi input method.

As a result, the demand for typing speed has dropped dramatically.

Finally, the input method is replaced by other tools.

Today's young people, how simple and convenient how to come. With the development of the mobile Internet, the network speed continues to improve, and more chat tools appear, such as voice, **, etc., directly replacing the input method. These tools replace a large number of text input requirements, and on the other hand, reduce the frequency of use of input methods.

Each era has its specific products, and if you don't continue to innovate, there is only one way to be eliminated. However, Wubi input method has made great contributions to the history of China's computer development, and has a good product.

There are many kinds of input methods we use daily, the common ones are pinyin input method, five pen input method, handwriting input and stroke input four, of which the pinyin input method is divided into 9 pen input method and 26 pen input method, handwriting input is divided into full-screen handwriting and half-screen handwriting. Among these input methods, we should commonly use Pinyin input method and Wubi input method.

Wubi input method is referred to as "Wubi", is a basic input method of Chinese characters invented by Wang Yongmin, because the glyph is completely a sentence and font characteristics of the Chinese characters are encoded, so Wubi is also a typical "shape code input method". After the invention of Wubi, it is very popular in China, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries, since the invention, Wubi input method has been continuously optimized, and has launched three generations of Wubi input, each generation has been greatly optimized. At the 40th Anniversary Commendation Conference of Reform and Opening-up, Professor Wang Yongmin was selected as one of the 100 outstanding contributors and was commended.

Compared with Pinyin input method,The advantages of Wubi input method are very obvious,Typing is the same as writing,Single finger can achieve a very fast typing speed,Easier than handwriting,And high accuracy,You don't have to deliberately look at the keyboard,You can directly "blind type",Therefore, for many professional typists,5Stroke input method is the best choice。 And the pinyin input method repetition rate is too high,It's almost impossible to type blindly,There are many keystrokes。 It can be seen that compared with the pinyin input method, the Wubi input method has greater advantages.

The number of people using the Wubi input method has dropped sharply, and the Pinyin input method has become the first choice for everyone's daily typing, and the previous computer keyboard is also marked with the root of the five strokes, but now the computer keyboard has directly omitted the root of the five strokes.

So why was Wubi finally defeated by Pinyin? The author has now figured it out and suddenly realized!

Because the effect of typing feedback is different, Pinyin input method is suitable for daily chat use, and Wubi blind typing requires finger feedback feeling, so the effect is almost bad when using a mobile phone, Wubi typing is accurate, suitable for professional articles and terms. Wubi input method is for those who need code words every day, when you encounter rare words or suddenly forget how to read the word, you feel that Wubi is easy to use, and Pinyin input method is for us non-professionals to use.

Finally, after comparison, it was found that the advantages of Wubi will be typed out when you see the word and don't know how to read, the advantage of pinyin is that you can type it out if you know how to read and write, Wubi is written culture, and Pinyin is passed on by word of mouth. Wubi typing must know how to write this word,Now is the era of the Internet,Daily chat has become a must-have content,Many people forget to write the pen,So pinyin input method is more suitable for everyone。

So it can be concluded that there are not many people who will be five-stroke, because there is a certain degree of difficulty, not everyone can learn, unlike the low entry level of pinyin, when there was no mandatory Mandarin teaching before, many places are dialect teaching, so pinyin is very non-standard, it is easier to learn relative to Wubi input method, after the popularity of Pinyin and Larry input method, Wubi will decline, eliminated by the times. If you want Wubi to defeat Pinyin, there is only one way, and this way is to include Wubi in the teaching content of nine-year compulsory education!

I don't know if you still remember, in the past, our mainstream input method was not pinyin, but the five-stroke input method invented by the Chinese themselves. I remember in 2006, Wubi input method was still a science.

The mouse pad at home is the kind with a word root, and there are many training centers on the street that pay to teach Wubi input method, and there is also a teaching software specially used to learn Wubi.

Time flies, it's already 2020, and there are basically no young people using Wubi input method. Basically, since I can remember, I've been using ABC Pinyin input method, and I haven't learned Wubi input method at all.

It can be said that the post-90s, post-00s this group of young people, is not impressed by the Wubi input method.

The older generation should know that the five-stroke input method was just born in the era, known as the most efficient Chinese input method, after proficiency, the typing efficiency is as high as 150 words per minute.

At that time, the pinyin input method did not have the concept of word frequency, typing needs to turn page by page, and there are many typos. The typing efficiency of the Wubi input method is so high, why no one uses it in 2020, 3 reasons to tell you.

1. Wubi is difficult to get started with and cost-effective. We have been learning pinyin since kindergarten, and the learning cost of Wubi input method has increased hundreds of times. You need to memorize the root words, and you also need to memorize the root combinations, and you can only form muscle memory after a long period of practice, which is too difficult to get started.

And at the same time of high difficulty, the cost performance is also very low, can you increase your salary if you type fast? Now in addition to ** customer service, there is no position that requires typing speed, right? If I'm not mistaken, the profession of typist has largely disappeared.

What about learning the five-stroke input method, there is no use at all.

2, Pinyin input method is getting better and better to use, before learning Wubi input method, because the Pinyin input method is not smart enough, low efficiency. Take a look at the input method in 2020, there are cloud synchronization thesaurus, intelligent association, intelligent revision, word frequency judgment and other functions, which basically meet all the needs of text input.

Voice input methods have also begun to rise,The threshold of input methods will be lower and lower in the future,You can type if you can speak。 And compared with the Wubi input method,Pinyin input method is more in line with our intuition of reading,The future can also be seamlessly switched to the voice input method。

3. People have no demand for typing speed, which is also the most important point, in the past, Wubi input was for the pursuit of typing speed, and now we do not have a strong demand for typing speed. The place where you usually use the input method,It's nothing more than chatting、Write articles、Office。

These are things that take time to think, and no matter how fast you type, your thinking can't keep up.

All in all, there are three main reasons for the elimination of the Wubi input method: it is difficult to get started, there are better alternatives, and the needs of society have changed. Wubi input method is just in a backward era,The product of helplessness,After all, it will be replaced by pinyin。

The computer can be said to be a very important invention in the history of mankind, from the beginning only as a computing tool, to now through the computer and its connected network, we can know all kinds of things happening in various parts of the world for the first time. And the help of computers in work and life is undoubtedly very huge, it can be said that without computers, the world today would not be what it is now. If you want to communicate with the world through the computer, the most basic operation is to type, and we all know that the computer was invented by a foreign country, and how to convert English into Chinese and input it into the computer when it was just introduced to China has become the biggest problem.

Under the general trend at that time, many people understood that maybe the computer would bring a huge change of age to the world, and as a developed country that China should not lag behind the West, some people actually proposed to directly abandon Chinese characters and input letters according to foreign habits. But our Chinese characters have been passed down for thousands of years, how can the wise Chinese nation give up so easily? So Professor Wang Yongmin, who was still a guy at the time, invented the five-stroke input method in 1983 after five years of research, and it took several years to popularize it throughout China, and later Professor Wang Xiaolong invented the pinyin input method, which completely solved the problem of Chinese typing.

But we also know that although the pinyin input method is very convenient and fast, but the complex words have many meanings and pronunciations, and if you want to type it accurately, you have to find it on the keyboard for a while. And the five-stroke input method can reach a typing speed of about 15 crosses per minute, since the speed advantage is so big, why is the five-stroke input method now so unpopular?

Actually, there is a reason for this. First of all, we have learned pinyin since childhood, which is a very basic thing, and when we use pinyin input method, it will not be so difficult to get started. But the five input method needs to re-memorize those cumbersome roots and shortcodes,If you want to achieve a speed of about 100 words per minute, you have to study for several days first,The intensity during this period is not small。

And for most ordinary people,We usually don't need such a fast typing speed,So everyone is still more willing to use the familiar Pinyin input method。

But this is not to say that the Wubi input method has withdrawn from the stage of history because of this,You must know that the Wubi input method has been trained and familiar with the song stupid for a long time,The speed can even break through a hundred words per minute,Even some people can reach a hundred or dozens of speed,This is the speed that Pinyin input method can not achieve。 Although we ordinary people don't usually use it, such as the civil service department of a bank or a public unit, the use of Wubi input method can greatly improve the efficiency of Sakura's work, and they are more willing to use Wubi input method.
