Google Pinyin is an input method developed by Google China Labs that allows users to type Chinese characters on their devices. It was made publicly available on April 4, 2007, and includes both Pinyin input and stroke count method input. Google Pinyin Input is an extension for Googles keyboard that enables users to write Chinese characters, making it easier to communicate in the language. It is available for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac devices. Some key features of Google Pinyin Input include:

• QWERTY Pinyin keyboard with gesture typing and intelligent correction
• 9 key Pinyin keyboard with gesture typing
• Stroke keyboard
• Full screen and half screen handwriting keyboard
• Latin keyboard
• Fuzzy pinyin
• Double pinyin
• Optimized UI for different screen sizes
• Voice input
• Themes

Google Pinyin Input supports both simplified and traditional Chinese characters, as well as punctuation marks, emojis, Latin script, and numbers. It is safe to use, but it does have privacy and data capturing mechanisms. Google Pinyin Input was discontinued by Google in March 2019, but it is still available for download.
