ZDT: handwriting recognition

It would be really cool if ZDT could incorporate handwriting recognition, for example, somehow
incorporating this program: http://www.geocities.jp/ep3797/tomoe_01.html For how I currently use
ZDT, the only shortcoming is when I want to look up a character for which I don’t know the
pronunciation. I end up having to use the nciku drawing utility, but it would be nicer to have one
built into ZDT because I’m offline a lot of the time.

What is the possibility of something like this ever being built into ZDT?

Hi Carl,

Have you tried HanziLookup before? I’ve talked to the author Jordan, and he’s already given me
permission to integrate it. It’s already being used in Dimsum. It’s not a perfect solution, but I
wonder if it’s “good enough” for most people.

Chris

cwmccabe -

Thanks. I haven’t seen that program but it looks pretty good. I’ll download it and post here again
after playing around with it for a bit.

cwmccabe -

Chris,

It looks pretty good to me. I have better luck using the nciku input app, but that’s because I’m
pretty sloppy about stroke order. On the positive side, HanziDict might actually be a better
pedagogical tool because it would force me to think about stroke order. Although it would be nice
to at least be able to switch between the nciku style (stroke-order-independent) and the HanziDict
style, I’m not one to complain. If HanziDict were included in ZDT, I think that would be great.

Ancient Chinese use these special characters to record a period of time:year, month, day, hour,
i.e.

No need to learn the exact means of them. They are very complicated, mysterious, and impractical.

Some people still insist on that these magical things could bring lucky to our people. Just think
it as some kind of talismans.

BrandeX -

My gf didn’t immediately recognize these, thinking at first they might be a Japanese version
(kanji), but if it is chinese, it is very old pictographs, and seem to relate to the time of your
birth she said. As for the one that is a picture of a japanese flag with 2 characters on it, that
reads “May” (as in the month).

Lu -

Except for the first character, that is a more complicated way of writing ‘5′, the others are all
heavenly stems and/or earthly branches, I’m not sure which, maybe both. These are characters used
to indicate the year, and also other things to do with time, I suppose. Try googling ‘heavenly
stems and earthly branches’ for more details.

fireball9261 -

伍 is the formal writing for the number 5 when you write on checks or debt notes, and it doesn’t
mean May (unless that is a Japanese word for May).

The rest are all units for indicating Chinese years, months, and days. They are called tian gan
天干and di zhi 地支. The arrangement here are a random mix of tian gan 天干and di zhi
地支, and they don’t seem to mean anything. Also, I have no idea why there is a 伍 on top of
the vertical line as well as the center of the horizontal line. In addition, I don’t understand
why 庚 was seperated out by itself at the right and left of the horizontal line.

They are definitely not indicating your birthday. In order to represent year, month,day, and time,
they must be paired with tian gan first and followed by di zhi. The list of tian gan and di zhi
are as below, and you can see that this is a random mix of both without any order.

天干（tian gan): 甲、乙、丙、丁、戊、己、庚、辛、壬、癸
地支(di4 zhi):子、丑、寅、卯、辰、巳、午、未、申、酉、戌、亥

Since there is a Japanese flag there, I would think it might mean something to the Japanese, but I
can’t think of any sense for this design outside of being an art design. Personally, I wouldn’t
use it as a tailsman due to the chaotic arrangement of the tian gan and di zhi. It gave me an
upsetting feeling.

Thank you so much for your help!

Best Regards

Vasco
