Abstract
Methods and systems for romanizing Chinese ideograms allow a user to create a personalized spelling dictionary that converts a user'"'"'s desired roman-alphabet spelling to an equivalent Chinese character. A phonetic combination from a standard Chinese dialect is selected. The user defines a roman alphabet equivalent of the selected phonetic combination that fits the way the user pronounces the phonetic combination in the user'"'"'s own dialect or idiolect.
