stroke based input method wanted

[Guest koenig]

I'm looking for a stroke based input method for Simplified Chinese that has IME (or whatever you call an OS support) easily installable for winxp/win7/linux/android. Each of them support some stroke based methods, but unfortunately I can't find the one that is universally supported.

Drawing characters with a pen/mouse/finger would be a tough choice given my disability, so I'm looking for a keyboard based methods. Of course I use pinyin but it's useless when you don't know how to read the character.

Try sogou. You can choose to input by stroke-order (five-strokes, very easy) using it. Its android version also has it.

PS - google pinyin ime (desktop and android) also has a stroke-order option. When using the desktop version, just press "u" during pinyin mode, and then enter h(横),s(豎),p(撇),n(捺),z(折),d(點).
