Description

Pleco is the ultimate Chinese learning companion: an integrated dictionary / document reader / flashcard system with fullscreen handwriting input and live OCR, from a company that's been making the world's best mobile Chinese learning apps since 2001.

Major features: ($ = paid add-on)

• Amazing dictionaries. We offer two free built-in dictionaries: the popular open-source CC-CEDICT, with over 110,000 frequently-updated entries, and our own PLC dictionary, with 125,000 entries, parts of speech, and over 25,000 example sentences (with Pinyin). More than two dozen other dictionaries are available as free and paid ($) add-ons, including licensed titles from well-known publishers like Oxford, Longman, FLTRP, Tuttle, SLPH, and Commercial Press.

• Powerful merged search: look up words by Chinese characters, Pinyin (spaces / tones optional), or English, with support for wildcards and full-text search. And no need to tediously flip between all of those dictionaries to find a word - just type in your search term and instantly get a combined, frequency-sorted result list.

• Links and cross-references: easily look up character components, break down words into individual characters, look up lists of words containing a particular character, and search across all dictionaries for example sentences containing a word.

• Gorgeous typography: see it for yourself in our screenshots - we think we're one of the best-looking Chinese dictionaries around. Alternate Kai/Song/Xing-style Chinese fonts are also available ($).

• PRC/HK/Taiwan-friendly: every part of Pleco supports both traditional and simplified, headword readings can be shown in Pinyin and Zhuyin, and some dictionaries even support Cantonese. (note: stroke order diagrams do support traditional characters, but use PRC order)

• Audio: Hear Mandarin and Cantonese for words and example sentences using iOS' free built-in text-to-speech system. We also offer add-ons ($) with native-speaker Mandarin recordings and higher-quality Mandarin TTS.

• Document Reader: bring in text from the clipboard and tap on words in it to instantly look them up. Upgrade ($) adds support for tap-lookups in text, HTML, DOC, DOCX, PDF, and EPUB files. We also offer graded readings ($).

• OCR: look up words simply by pointing your device's camera at them, or by tapping on them in a still image. ($)

• Fullscreen handwriting: use your device's whole screen instead of just a little box. Extremely accurate and highly tolerant of stroke order mistakes. (enhanced $)

• Flashcards: create a card from any dictionary entry with a single button tap, import premade word lists, use advanced memorization techniques like SRS, and study in a variety of modes including fill-in-the-blanks handwriting and tone drills. ($)

• Stroke Order Diagrams: animations showing you how to draw each character; 500 characters for free, 28,000 in paid ($) version.

• User dictionaries: create new dictionary entries right on your device as you encounter new words. ($)

• No ads.

We also offer famously excellent customer support and an active user community at http://www.plecoforums.com. And we're constantly working to make our products better; our sales and customer base have been growing for two decades across 4 different platforms. You can be confident that we'll still be fixing bugs and adding features for years to come.

Paid add-ons can be transferred to other devices that link to your iTunes account just like any other paid iTunes content; simply install our free app, open up the "Add-ons" screen, and tap on the "Restore Purchases" button to activate your purchase on each device.

Ottima app

-LX-94- on

Ormai la uso quotidianamente per tradurre. Semplice e chiara da utilizzare.

il TOP per chi studia cinese

AC.B. on

Sono ormai più di sette anni che utilizzo Pleco e posso affermare che è la migliore app in circolazione per i dispositivi mobili. In tanti anni non è mai stata paragonabile ad altre, ed i motivi sono evidenti se la si utilizza. Se si ha intenzione di studiare cinese o si ha bisogno di utilizzare la lingua Pleco è l’app giusta. Consiglio inoltre di investire quantomeno sul pacchetto base affinché si possa avere la giusta funzionalità e comodità nell’utilizzo dell’app stessa.

Indispensabile

Nicola Credaro on

Uno strumento essenziale per chi studia cinese

so useful but…

nihongo-manabu! on

the app it’s useful and good-made but i wish y’all goin to add an italian-chinese dictionary as soon as possible

The best!

Bluvigo on

Best Chinese dictionary ever!

ONLY GOOD FOR BEGINNERS. Don’t waste money on it

ChineseStudent87 on

The vocabulary is REALLY limited. It has most (not even all) of the words you’ll meet while studying material written for students, but as soon as you start approaching native material you will need something more serious, so my advice is to just enjoy the Pleco free version if you really want, and then invest your money in something professional when and if you will need to.

In una parola: perfetta

Giustino Croce on

Davvero un’app fantastica, senza pubblicità, con la maggioranza delle funzioni gratuite. Davvero ben pensata, indispensabile per chi studia cinese

Flashcards Test

alessiagatti on

Non riesco a fare il Flashcards Test, non mi appare proprio la funzione!!!

Scrittura caratteri

ste9511 on

Buona applicazione ma manca la funziona per disegnare i caratteri

Ricordo un pleco migliore..prima

isabella maddaloni on

Quando 5anni fa utilizzavo pleco quotidianamente, ricordo che era possibile “disegnare” con il dito il carattere e lui lo trovava! Perché non c’è più questa funzione??? Era un assoluto un salvavita immediato
