What can I do with it?
You can:
* Get the Pinyin/definition for a word by writing its characters on the screen
* Keep a list of words you look up for later review
* Find a character using a radical index (as in a printed Chinese dictionary)
* Review vocabulary with an onscreen flashcard system, focusing on the words you need the most help with
* Create your own flashcard lists from dictionary entries, or import ready-made vocabulary lists for several popular textbooks and the HSK
* Look up words using Pinyin, or a mix of Pinyin and characters
* Look up words in other programs (like document readers) by highlighting them and launching PlecoDict
* Cross-reference words between dictionary entries – highlight a word and tap on a button to jump to its definition
* Create your own custom dictionary entries (and make flashcards out of them)
* Look up the Chinese translations of English words
* Enter words in both simplified and traditional characters, and switch between traditional/simplified display with a single button tap
* Use it on an English-language device without needing to install any other software
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.
