I've been trying to put Cantonese words from FSI into a flashcard program but the only way I can type anything is with the number method (e.g. ngo5)
This makes it really difficult to read a word after I've gotten used to the Yale writing in FSI and TY. Can anyone tell me how to write in Yale?
Thanks

Are the tone marks the same as in Hanyu Pinyin (used to romanise Mandarin)?  I know you don't have the same symbol as the 3rd tone: ǎ

Examples:

ā ō ē lū lǖ yī

á à ǎ


Contact user Imron on chinese-froums.com, he's got pinyininput IME in his signature.

There are also downloadable macros for converting tone numbers to tone marks.

Also try this online tool, specific for Cantonese. I took part in its testing but it may still have some bugs.

Good luck!
