Machine based text segmenting is never 100% accurate. The segmenting process can be manually influenced by adding spaces inbetween characters in the input field.


Tip: In the word dictionary, the Chinese sentence lookup can lookup whole Chinese sentences, automatically splitting it into separate words.
