Lock Keyboard

Is it possible to lock the keyboard when doing the write it section.
If the play button is pressed again to hear the senatence another time the keyboard diapears
This is very frustrating and makes it to much work to be usefull

I find it simplest to bypass their keyboard and use input tools.  For Hanzi, I use Google input tools through Chrome.  I found some tool for entering Pinyin as well.  Here is a link to a previous discussion about Pinyin input:

Oops - I spoke to soon.  What I just described use to work.  Now it doesn't work with the new edition.  I just tried "Write It in Hanzi" and was surprised the keyboard kept going away.  I would much prefer that keep it up once I bring it up.  That is what they used to do.

Hi Ian and Robert, 

I have added this to our list of fixes! Thanks for letting us know. 

For both "Write It", just bring up the keyboard since we are always going to need it.  Also, it would really be good if you could allow us to use the input tools that we have installed on our computer.  I use Google Chrome and I should be able to use the Hanzi input tool but I can't even though I have it on right now.

Thanks for adding this to list of Fixes !!

Hi Robert, 

That's odd - I'll get the IT team to have a look at that. Thanks for letting us know!
