OpenVanilla (OV) is an input method (IM)/output filter (OF) framework designed for better end-user text processing experiences. For example, OpenVanilla provides a comprehensive set of Traditional Chinese input methods that are lacking or of which counterparts are functionally deficient/unsatisfactory in Apple's Mac OS X. Many Simplified Chinese users also find this framework useful. A Tibetan IM module is also available. scim-openvanilla is an OpenVanilla loader as a SCIM IM engine that enables the input method modules of OpenVanilla to be used through SCIM.
