"I`m learning mandarin, and one big issue is how to look up characters that you don`t know. Pinyin input requires you to know what the syllable / word sounds like, handwriting input usually requires you to know the right stroke order and direction - and I don`t really want to learn handwriting. You can use the traditional method of looking up radicals and counting the strokes, but it`s slow. I tested it on a business card and a line in a textbook - every character correct, and super fast. Ok so it struggled with the dot matrix from the supermarket check-out receipt, but hey.. it got one or two chars right there as well. Been looking for this app for years. Thanks!"

"Bought some food from an Asian supermarket that looked nice but the cooking instructions were in Chinese and I couldn`t work them out from the pictures! Despite a patterned background this app perfectly recognised and translated the characters. Amazing app!"

"This is a must have app for learning Chinese with intermediate fluency. I take a picture of the Chinese characters I want to learn throughout the day, then at night I use this app to figure out the meaning and pronunciation, then I practice reading and writing. It`s so much faster than using a dictionary to look up the characters! After using the app a while I know which fonts and styles it supports and so I take pictures that it will recognize. No bubble letters, unusual fonts, handwriting."

"But too battery draining. It heats up my device after using it for only a few minutes. Upon checking the battery stats, it confirmed my suspicion. Hopely something can be done to reduce battery consumption. Otherwise, it is an excellent app. Update: explained by developer the battery draining is most likely due to my stock camera. And battery usage is higher during live mode. OCR won`t run at the background. 5 stars."

"I like this app better that OCR of Pleco. This easily recognize characters although I would like to see some features of Pleco OCR integrated in this like the ability to copy all sentences then just tapping the word to get the meaning and also the definition pop out where you don`t have to be transferred to another window to see the definition of a word. I think that feature really saves time. :-D"

"The purchased OCR works as advertised, except the interface with the pro version is not recognized. The Pro version has an OCR built in which does not recognized the upgraded OCR paid version. Using paid version OCR does not integrate with pro version. This lack of recognition and interface integration needs rectified soon. Otherwise, I would give 5 stars! Would also be excellent to be able to translate whole phrases and sentences!"

DESCRIPTION
Save time doing dictionary lookups with Chinese OCR! Simply point your camera at some Chinese text to get all the English definitions. No need to even touch the screen!
This app is compatible with our Mandarin and Cantonese dictionary apps.
If you`re not satisfied, for any reason, within 30 days you get a full refund, period, no questions asked. We don`t want your money if you`re not amazingly happy.
PLEASE READ THIS FIRST: this app gives the dictionary definitions of Chinese words in the text, not whole sentence translations (although there is a button to quickly show the text in Google Translate popup). Therefore, this app is suited to those who are studying Chinese rather than those who are looking for a language-survival tool.
PLEASE READ THIS ALSO: when first using this app, it`s tempting to try it out by pointing the camera at Chinese text on a computer screen. However, this is NOT supported because the Moire effect means the image is distorted in a way that cannot be used by the recognition engine. So please point the camera at Chinese text in the real world (e.g. in books) or load images (such as screenshots captured by the device).
Features:
★ Scans live camera preview as well as still images (such as photos and screenshots)
★ Works entirely offline!
★ Simplified and Traditional characters
★ Pinyin and Zhuyin (Bopomofo) pronunciation
★ Horizontal & vertical text
★ Optimized for pages of regular text (such as in a book)
★ Seamlessly integrates with Hanping Chinese Dictionary (which is free), with Hanping Chinese Dictionary Pro and Hanping Cantonese Dictionary (paid app)
★ Quick Settings Tile to toggle on/off
★ Shows HSK level and any custom tags
Please report any bugs or suggestions to us via e-mail.
