What problem does it solve?

macOS users who accumulate long-term input data (Personal dictionary entries and typing habits) often need to migrate to third-party input methods. This Skill provides a straightforward way to export that data and convert it into ready-to-import formats for Rime, Sogou, Baidu, and WeChat, preserving wordings and typing frequency.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Exports native macOS DynamicPhraseLexicon entries (Surface, Reading, Syllables, Seed) to multiple target formats.
• Preserves spacing in pinyin by decoding Syllables and mapping weights to approximate LRUs in other engines.
• Generates: plain word lists, Rime dict.yaml, Sogou phrases, text replacements, and CSV variants for various apps.
• Use Case: A user wants to back up their lexicon and migrate to Rime and Sogou with accurate syllable spacing and weight data.

Quick Start

Run the export_dictionary.py script in your terminal to generate all supported dictionaries in the current directory.
