Mar 6, 2015 at 23:43 comment added user1228520 @JonarhanGleason 搜狗 is just easier to use for casual speaker. For example, there are characters even many of us Chinese have trouble to write or often pronounce wrong, e.g some people read 汤匙(chi2) (soup spoon) as tang1 shi2 becasue 匙 is pronounced as shi in 钥匙(shi) (key). 搜狗 would accept the incorrect pinyin with a note of the correct one. Also 搜狗 has a huge range of words and phrases Include almost all the popular ones. Some people still uses 搜狗 words library even they don't use the IME.

Mar 6, 2015 at 2:57 comment added Mou某 @JonathanGleason I've never used/seen a Chinese persons computer that didn't have 搜狗 on it, that doesn't make it good, but that's saying something. It is a pretty intuitive piece of software, especially when it comes to guessing typos, a lot of Chinese people find it hard to differentiate between retroflex sounds and non-retroflex sounds (zh vs. z, ch. vs. c, sh vs. s) - and words with-or-without g on the end. Sougou will automatically 'guess' the correct word that you want.
Mar 6, 2015 at 2:20 comment added Jonathan Gleason Do you recommend 搜狗 for other reasons besides this? How does it compare to Google's IME (which also does not seem to have this “辶" problem)?
Mar 6, 2015 at 2:18 comment added Jonathan Gleason FWIW, "yan" brings up 讠 using Microsoft Pinyin. So far the only one I've had trouble with is 辶.
