=== Double pinyin ===

[[File:MSPY-double-pinyin.svg|thumb|The default double pinyin scheme in [[Microsoft Pinyin IME]]. Many IME, including ibus-pinyin, support this scheme.]]

Vowel groups in pinyin can be up to four letters long. ''Double pinyin'' (双拼) is a method whereby longer vowel groups are assigned to consonant keys as shortcuts, and zh, ch, sh are assigned to vowel keys as shortcuts. Thus, when the input method expects a vowel, the user can use the shortcuts to speed up typing.

In the [[Microsoft Pinyin IME]], for example, if a user wants to input “中华人民共和国 (zhōnghuárénmíngònghéguó)”, "People's Republic of China" into the computer, they need to type "zhonghuarenmingongheguo" in Full Pinyin. In Double Pinyin, however, one only needs to type "vshwrfmngshego" (v=zh, s=ong, h=h, w=ua, r=r, f=en, m=m, n=in, g=g, s=ong, h=h, e=e, g=g, o=uo). However, with a system that uses abbreviation, the same result can be achieved by just typing in "zhrmghg".
