508MB for typing? Hands on experience of WeChat input method

Recently, many users are looking forward to WeChat typewriting The APP "WeChat Keyboard" has entered the testing stage, and Xiaobian has also experienced this input method product at the first time. Like the so-called "small and beautiful" WeChat APP, the "WeChat Keyboard" not only has an amazing 148MB installation package, but also has an amazing 508MB APP after installation! Equivalent to a mainstream Video software The size of the app, which can be used as a reference for comparison, is about 800MB after the WeChat body has just been installed.

Compared with the "WeChat keyboard" APP mobile phone Built in Baidu IME The space occupied by APP is only 90MB, so what's unique about the use experience of the "WeChat keyboard", which is much larger than its peers?

After the successful installation, the first thing we see is the boot setting interface. Compared with similar apps, the boot setting interface of "WeChat Keyboard" is more concise on the whole. It mainly highlights a function called Spelling Plus. The system prompts that after enabling this function, the app will upload some user data. In order to bring you a complete use experience, we choose to enable it here.

After the settings are completed, we can see that the overall design of the "WeChat keyboard" is very simple. At present, it does not provide the function of changing skin.

We can see that the "WeChat keyboard" provides common functions such as voice to text, expression, spelling check, etc. Here we mainly help you to experience the more practical voice to text function.

After a simple experience, we found that the voice to text function of the "WeChat keyboard" has quite good recognition accuracy and recognition speed, which also makes us wonder whether this app is so large and has a built-in local AI speech recognition What about the engine? Therefore, we conducted a mobile phone disconnection test, and found that the voice to text function cannot be used in a non network environment.

The next experience is the smart recommendation function of "WeChat keyboard". The principle of this function is to recommend some links and content in the WeChat ecosystem according to the content you enter. For example, you can directly share the link of WeChat reading by entering the book name, or you can also send a quick link by entering the corresponding public name.

In the experience, what surprised me after all was that this APP could not realize the fast keyboard layout switching function. That is to say, when the user needs to switch the full keyboard to the nine grid keyboard, he needs to go to the setting options to make separate settings. This design is very puzzling. Maybe it is a simple beauty.

At present, the use experience of "WeChat keyboard" is relatively simple and simple. It is expected that more functions will not be launched until the official version, but this also makes people worried about the further expansion of its application volume. Already owned by Tencent Sogou input method 、 QQ input method Under the background of the old input method, it can be said that it is a bit puzzling for WeChat to launch another mobile phone input method. However, we do feel the difference in design ideas between the "WeChat keyboard" and the mainstream input method. More detailed experience needs to wait until the formal version goes online to try again.
