I am not sure how to fix it so it works on Firefox. I've always used IE when I need it. As to Pinyin IME tool (Windows only, sorry), I heard good words about Sogou Pinyin lately. Thanks for the link to the Japanese ajaxime site. I have contemplated of learning Japanese myself someday. My son is pretty fluent at it. Good luck in your language learning. It will open a new window (or windows) for you. Hi Yu,

Does anyone know how to fix this so can use it on Firefox as well? Sorry about the double posting. EDIT:

I thought it was the first one, but it doesn't have any output for "shi" (in case you guys don't use the same pinyin system as me, one of the options should be 是) which is a pretty significant problem for me. I can't understand the settings very well. (taking Chinese through a class, hence the reliance on this system) Thanks in advance. :] PS: I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it on this site, but for Japanese (which I'm self-studying) http://ajaxime.chasen.org/ is an awesome and easy to use option.

I guess I will stick with Ziguang. I just don't want to miss out something really easy and efficient. Thanks for sharing Brendan.

No particular reason - both are good, though I find that MS Pinyin tends to be a little better at word segmentation for common words, whereas Ziguang is a bit better for stuff that I've already taught it. At home, I use Mac OS X, which has a much sparser choice; there's the built-in Pinyin input, which sucks, and a third-party input, QiM, which also sucks, but sucks slightly less. I've actually thought about learning Wubi/Cangjie/something else, just to get rid of the disappointing Mac input solutions, but I type quickly enough in Pinyin that the alleged speed benefits of Wubi aren't all that compelling to me, and it seems like it'd be a real pain to learn.
