Soạn Nôm IME

Soạn Nôm IME lets you type Chữ Nôm (𡨸喃) directly on any webpage using familiar Telex input — or draw characters by hand when you don't know the reading. Features: • Type Nôm characters anywhere — input fields, text areas, rich editors, Shadow DOM (Lexical, Slate, Notion-style editors) • Telex keyboard input with real-time candidate suggestions • Handwriting input — don't know a character's reading? Draw it. Open the pad from the toolbar popup, or on any webpage field via right-click ("Handwrite Chữ Nôm here") or a keyboard shortcut; an optional pen badge can be enabled on focused fields. The in-page pad is draggable; recognized characters appear in the same candidate bar — pick one and it's inserted right at the cursor (works in inputs, text areas, contentEditable and Shadow DOM editors). Recognition runs on the Nôm Na Việt server, so it needs an internet connection. • Personalized candidate ranking — frequently picked characters bubble up to the top, learned per reading with 30-day decay (private, stored locally) • Horizontal candidate bar with expandable grid (like Rime / Google Pinyin) • Built-in popup composer with copy to clipboard • Shift + hover any CJK character to see instant dictionary info — readings, meanings, compounds • Compound word detection — automatically highlights multi-character compounds in surrounding text • Sticky dictionary popup — stays open after you release Shift so you can read, scroll, and click "View details"; dismissed via Escape, outside-click, or Shift-hover on a different character • Right-click any text to look up characters on nomnaviet.com, or right-click an editable field to handwrite Chữ Nôm into it • Bundled rare CJK fonts — Extensions B–I and PUA Nôm characters render on any site, even where the system has no font for them • Light / dark theme toggle • Display-font toggle between Tống thể (Songti) and Khải thư (Kaishu) • Keyboard shortcuts to toggle IME on/off, dictionary lookup on/off, and open handwriting input (assign your own in chrome://extensions/shortcuts) How to use: 1.
