摘要

查字典的方式中，有以形查字的部首檢字法及四角號碼法，也有以音查字的注音檢字法，注音檢字法是一般較常用的方式，問題是漢字屬於象形文字，當我們不曉得某一字的發音時，注音檢字法就派不上用場，一定要以形來查字；所以在中文字典中，一定會保留以形查字的檢字方式，以形查字的部首檢字法，即使了解漢字的部首、筆劃，其查字的速度仍相當耗時，所以王雲五先生就曾設計一套以形查字的「四角號碼法」，但是一般人不會為了查字典而另學一套查字方法，故使用人數不多。
本研究發展一套能同時作中文字典檢字及電腦輸入之方法，擬以目前電腦中文打字檢定中佔有率約43.7%的倉頡輸入法為基礎，設計一套以形查字的檢字表，先將最多五碼的倉頡簡化為最多三碼，再將三碼做三維座標的安排設計檢字表，新的檢字表及檢字方法完成後，就查字速度會比部首檢字法要好，在本研究中以倉頡檢字表所作的查字速度實測，平均速度可達41.37秒�每字，相較於部首檢字法每查一字約71.42秒�每字要快接近一倍，而且此一檢字法，更可以和目前電腦中文打字習慣接軌，不單單只是字典中的檢字法而已，依此所發展出來的新三碼倉頡輸入法在盲打的情況下，正確率可達93%，相較於注音輸入法的71%及微軟的新注音輸入法的84%，有著更高的正確率，若是未來在三碼倉頡輸入法中再加入字詞分析，將可再提升其正確率。

Among the ways of consulting Chinese dictionaries, a radical indexing method and a 4-corner number indexing method are of the ways of searching words by shape; besides, phonetic notation indexing methods are generally the more common way, the way of searching words by phonetic symbols. The trouble is that the latter won’t work when we don’t know the pronunciations of certain words, for Chinese characters are a kind of hieroglyph. Thus, the radical indexing method is always preserved in Chinese dictionaries. But it is still time-consuming to look up words even when we know about the radicals and stroke-counts of the words. Seeing that, Mr. Wang Yun-Wu devised “4-corner number indexing method,” but it’s still not popularized, since few people would like to learn another indexing method just for consulting dictionaries.
This research aims at designing a method that can be used to consult Chinese dictionaries and to be as a computer Chinese input. Based on Chang-Jei Input, whose utility rate is about 43.7 percent in current computer typing tests, we simplify the maximum codes of Chang-Jei Input from “five” to “three”, and design the index by arranging these “three codes” into X-Y-Z coordinates. With this finished index table and index method, we got better speed at searching words than using the radical indexing method. The average statistics that we measured in real tests are 41.37 seconds/per word to 71.42 seconds/per word, that is to say, almost twice faster. Moreover, this indexing method can perform well not only in consulting dictionaries but with current computer Chinese typing. By using this new 3-Code Chang-Jei Input, the rate of correction can reach to 93 percent in the condition of non-selecting words. That is much better than 71 percent of using Phonetic Notation Input, or than 84 percent of using Microsoft New Phonetic Notation Input. If words analysis can be combined with this new 3-Code Chang-Jei Input, the rate of correction will be more promoted.
