SCIM (Smart Common Input Method) is an input method (IM) platform.
 .
 This package provides development libraries on SCIM platform, including the
 header files and static libraries. The development documentations can be
 found in the scim-dev-doc package.
 .
 SCIM can be used as a dynamically loaded library on a single machine, or as a
 server/client model through socket in a network environment. As a component
 of the system, SCIM can work with existing IM framework such as XIM or IIIMF
 (in progress), as well as using client specific IM interface, such as GTK+
 IM module. SCIM provides an IM application, scim, which use various IM
 engines to provide input methods for many languages, either by native modules
 (such as scim-pinyin and scim-hangul) or interfaces to other IM libraries
 (such as scim-anthy, scim-uim, scim-m17n, and scim-chewing).
