Very useful to complement Mandarin studies

TimBurchell on

I don’t use all the features of HanYou, but those I do use are a massive help in my homework and revision study for Mandarin. Especially the character recognition through the camera and the drawing pad. The dictionary is comprehensive and the handwriting stroke order information can all be found very easily from the character recognition. I’d definitely recommend to have this this app on your phone if you’re studying Mandarin!

Invaluable for developing reading skills

The camera feature speeds up reading hard copy material massively, avoiding the slow process of looking up a character via its radical. Reading electronic material is easier too using a cut and paste technique which is also very fast. The content seems to include many common slang expressions which don’t necessarily appear in other dictionaries. A great buy.

Very useful

Just great

Unique and invaluable

Where was this app when I lived in China? Although I could speak enough to get by day, if I had had this app I could have been more independent with signs, menus etc. and probably learned hanzi much faster.
