What dictionaries are available?
The Oxford Concise English & Chinese Dictionary, published by Oxford University Press, is one of the most popular Chinese-English translation dictionaries in the world. It was originally published in 1986; PlecoDict's data files are based on the new 3rd Edition, published in 2003 and incorporating recent vocabulary words like 'Internet' and 'SARS'. It includes both a Chinese-to-English and an English-to-Chinese component, containing approximately 25,000 and 13,000 entries respectively.
· Only the first few entries of each dictionary are accessible. (generally the ones beginning with 'a' and 'b' - this applies to Pinyin for the Chinese-to-English ones)
· The handwriting recognizer cannot be used to actually look up words; you can, however, write in a character and see what matches it comes up with (which allows you to confirm that the recognizer works accurately with your handwriting).
· Free and user-created dictionaries are disabled, as are flashcard import/export operations.
