The Mnemosyne Project

These flashcards contain the shapes used in Cangjie IME (input method editor) and the corresponding letters that they correspond to.

To install, you should move the directory cangjie_shapes to your .mnemosyne directory.

Cangjie is an IME that could have several advantages of pinyin input if you can learn the system. One of the advantages, for English speakers, is that you don't need to know how to pronounce a character to input it. Another is that you will not generally have to select characters from an alternatives list as you type, making typing faster.

There are several resources on the web for learning the actual rules and principles of Cangjie, but this set of cards may be helpful in remembering the auxilliary forms in the beginning.

All of the images were taken from http://howto.wikia.com/wiki/Howto_learn_to_type_in_Chinese_with_Cangjie_input_method. There was also a set of images all of the auxilliary forms together there that might be useful.
