Everything is "Cloud", including the input method.

The biggest feature of the IT industry is that merchants like the concept of hyping. This feature is derived from this feature. This is not the most popular word, as a result, everything is "Cloud". Amazon was the first to have a general cloud computing platform to fuel this. Google, a cloud-based company, also launched the App Engine, for a moment, everyone is "Cloud", and Alibaba is also "Cloud". ubuntu9.10 has enterprise cloud, and now all input methods are "Cloud. Where is the cloud ......... Dizzy. "Cloud" is naturally good, so everyone can collectively "Cloud". Applications similar to Google Doc have changed the lives of many people, including me, so today, I am able to release this blog smoothly and happily from windows and in Linux. I heard that Sohu is about to release cloud input methods. It can also be used across platforms for Linux, Mac, I am very excited. in Linux, there is really no input method that matches Sohu's input method (fcitx is my favorite input in Linux, but although it is excellent, but it can only be regarded as a product of the previous generation.) I hope that I can break away from low input efficiency in Linux, if you can share your personal word frequency records in Windows, it will be more perfect. With a good vision, I learned about the cloud input method and had to say that I was a little disappointed. Sohu's cloud input method is not mature enough. Although it is called cross-platform, it can be used with browsers. In fact, I tested it in Linux (kubuntu9.10) + Firefox 3.5. in Google Doc and Gmail, only one input method mark can be seen, but it cannot be used normally, finally, I found that the Google homepage can be used normally in the search box -_-! Is it because Google Doc and Gmail also use JS? (Because Sohu's cloud Input Method front-end is obviously segment JS) and then used in Windows XP + firefox3.5, consistent with Linux, I finally try IE8 again, the result is that the Sohu cloud input method cannot be displayed in Gmail. the Google search box is used normally. I wonder if Sohu has tried Google doc, ajax products like Gmail -_-! However, Google doc, Gmail, and the "Cloud" method that works seamlessly with the "Cloud" method, cannot be used .... Not a little disappointing, it is very disappointing. There is not a certain gap between the use of browsers declared by Sohu, that is a very big gap. Finally, this article is still completed in the cute fcitx work.

As a concept input method, Sohu does not intend to promote and use it on a large scale. It is only an attempt platform for innovation. In fact, it is still not that mature. In addition, before cloud computing is fully popularized, in the real world, we can only use the input method in the browser, but it is still a bit unacceptable. Even as a platform for trying to innovate, at least it should be able to be normally used.
Of course, some concepts of Sohu's concept "Cloud" input method are good, and it cannot be regarded as the hype of ordinary businesses. After all, this is a true "Cloud", and computing is placed on the server end, it is called through the network, and also uses the popular B/S structure, so that the browser as a platform, with the intention to achieve the purpose of using a browser (although not yet achieved ), because the computing is on the server, we can also make some bold attempts to carry out some massive (unimaginable on the client) computing and provide a huge Dictionary (4g said ), the three-element model is used to match phrases. The phrases displayed on the client are all returned by server computing matching. These new things, as an online game server developer, I still feel very fresh, god, what technology is used for the development of an input method? In fact, because of the concept of "Cloud, the client's input method has also become a simple display platform ..... For details, refer to Sohu's Web page. I can see that the technology displayed is really attractive. What is the most important thing about input methods? Naturally, it is the matching rate. The higher the chance of successful first matching, the more time we can save. As a software that improves my work efficiency, I would like to welcome it. I have even connected vim, software such as autohotkey that requires learning costs are welcome, let alone products that can improve efficiency without learning. The emergence of the new technologies above is not intended to demonstrate the technology, but to improve the matching rate. In fact, although sogou first had the idea of linking the search engine data with the input method, but today, I know that the technical content of sogou's input method is still quite high. It is not as simple as I think. I only hope that products such as "Cloud" input method will actually be practical, improve the efficiency of the Input Method in Linux, instead of using it outside of the browser, or even Google Doc or gmail. -_-! How can I improve the matching rate? Xuan Hu is useless. I need to use the matching rate first ..... Currently, I can only use the Google search box -_-!
I have to admit that I am very concerned about such "Cloud" products, because the use of "Cloud" Products in Linux is the same as that in Windows (I also use Firefox in Windows), and the data is stored on the server, I can get what I want anytime, anywhere, and don't worry about data loss caused by my machine loss, hard disk damage, viruses, and operating system reinstallation. Google Doc, evernote is one of the best and best typical products. "cloud" fills in the gap between operating systems. Browsers are operating systems, sohu can have this foresight (not sure if it is not counted) and hopes to make the product, rather than staying at the conceptual input method stage. After all, the majority of Linux/Mac users are still looking forward .........
However, Sohu's input method is really down, but it is also cost-effective even if there is no effective business model, using the money to develop a software that almost everyone uses is better than making an advertisement at a high cost. A software that is easy to use every day can leave a good impression on the user's mind, what's more, the killer of Internet enterprises in this year is to cultivate user habits for free, and then charge fees .... Although some are provided in the form of value-added services (so many online games are actually counted), this business seems so clear and cost-effective afterwards, but no one found it at the beginning, (although many companies have discovered it now) the default Ms input method has been mixed for so long ..... Alas ........ It is easy to analyze one thing by sitting on the ground. It is difficult and difficult to discover such an opportunity. I don't know if the first person/company who proposed the concept of "Cloud" would have imagined such a day, the entire it world is moving to the "cloud", even the input method, or even the operating system?
This is a souvenir of my blog's 300th articles.
