Type Pinyin with tones

Pinyinput is an input source for macOS (and Windows) that makes it easy to type Pinyin with tone marks.

You type 'Han4yu3 Pin1yin1' and Pinyinput outputs 'Hànyǔ Pīnyīn'.

Pinyinput works at the system level, and so you can use it to type pinyin in a simple and consistent manner in any application.

Pinyinput Usage

The current version is compatible with macOS 10.9 and later (for the Windows version see here).
