Yesterday, Sogou released an IME called “Sogou Cloud IME“. However, sogou innovatively took advantage of Javascript, and produced a IME that can run in browser. As it runs in browser, it becomes a cross-platform IME — All the operating systems with a browser, can use this cloud IME.

Sogou is the leader on Pinyin IME field since 2006. Google.cn has also released a pinyin IME short after Sogou Pinyin, but was found plagiarized Sogou Pinyin’s thesaurus. Sogou is a subsidiary of Sohu.com(NASDAQ:SOHU), and focuses on search engine. However, its IME is much better than its search engine.
