Jyutping is a Cantonese input method that is intuitive and efficient—making typing fast, accurate, and effortless. Type Cantonese just as you speak it — naturally and fluently. Every input reinforces your pronunciation. The more you use Jyutping, the more familiar you become with Cantonese.
Ready to use right out of the box, with virtually no complicated setup. Open source, ad-free, and fully offline — no privacy concerns.
Based on the Jyutping romanization scheme developed by the Linguistic Society of Hong Kong (LSHK), and compatible with various spelling habits. You can perform reverse lookup of Jyutping using Mandarin Pinyin, Cangjie, Quick (Sucheng), Stroke input, and character decomposition. Detailed explanations are available within the app.

Great app! Would be nice if we can set english as default and add autocorrect/word suggestion functions, and would love to see more skins in the future!

★★★★★鐵.· Nov 13, 2025
It's a great app. It would be perfect if it has handwriting input.
★★☆☆☆Gluestick· Jan 26, 2026
Okay as a "Chinese" keyboard but not a genuine keyboard for native "Cantonese" people. Therefore, it should not be named as "Cantonese". At best use the word "Traditional".
