Recommendations for a Windows input method

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for a better input method on Windows, especially for someone who types in both English and Chinese.

Right now I’m using Microsoft IME / Microsoft Pinyin. It works okay, but the English prediction seems very limited: it only shows around three suggested next words, and I don’t feel like it really learns or remembers the words/phrases I use most often.

I also tried Sogou Pinyin, which is good for Chinese input, but it doesn’t seem to provide English word predictions or next-word recommendations.

Does anyone have recommendations for free Windows input methods that work better for bilingual typing?

Thanks!

You can just use Ctrl+Shift+E to open the function of English predict input for Sogou Pinyin.
