Performance Comparison of Myanmar Language IME between Native C/C++ and pure Java on Android Platform

Nowadays, Myanmar language input methodeditor (IME) is widely used in embedded systemof today Android portable devices such as mobilephones, tablets and e-books readers etc. as animportant part of human-computer interaction(HCI). However, to have an efficient inputtingperformance like Chinese prediction inputmethod and Latin prediction input method, thereare still many issues. This paper tried to showthe performance comparison of Myanmarprediction IME development between nativeC/C++ language and pure Java. Theexperiments indicated that the native C/C++used IME can raise the faster inputtingperformance than pure Java especially insearching the candidate syllable or wordsuggestion for users
