There is an Enfour product called UniFEP, which is a Japanese input
environment. As part of UniFEP you can purchase HWCR, which enters Kanji
characters through a handwriting recognition scheme. For more information
(in Japanese unfortunately), on Enfour's language offerings, see:

This product would work for Chinese as well. Otherwise there is a host of
Chinese input systems available. One popular one for native Chinese is
Eureka's Lily Language Kit:

Joseph Chen has a number of input systems and fonts available as well:

I have some stuff (fonts, input systems) for non-native Chinese students
(like myself), which she might find useful:

Tomyoshi Murai has a ton of Japanese input systems and fonts, some of
which are quite usable by Chinese:
