Clipboard reader fails to work on iPad
But it works fine on iPhone fortunately.
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.

Pleco Chinese Dictionary Reviews
本当におすすめ
最近中国語の勉強(繁体字、注音符号)を始めた私なりに良いと感じることが主に3つあった。 まず、皆さんの仰るとおり語彙数が多い。 ｢単語を調べても出てこない」というようなことが起こらないので、勉強をストレスなくスムーズに進めることが出来る。 次に繁体字、注音符号の表記があること。 参考書などでも拼音のみの表記が多い中、注音符号まで用意してくださっていることに感謝しかない。 そして、これは私が中国語初心者故の意見かもしれないが、文章で検索できる事だ。 なにせ最初は知らない単語が多いので、「単語の区切れが分からない(どこまでが動詞？)」や「熟語の意味は分かったが、構成する各々の単語の意味はなんだろう？」という疑問が出てくる。 そんな時に文章ごと入力すると、各単語の意味と品詞を見ることができる。 このような点から、もし英語がある程度出来るのなら絶対にこのアプリがおすすめだと思う。 正直このアプリのおかげで勉強の効率が上がり、より楽しく学ぶことが出来た。 これからもお世話になります。ありがとう。
Request for Check test with pronunciation
This app is of great help for learners. I really like it. One thing I would like you to add. Check test with pronunciation would be more helpful for listening training.
神アプリ
まず手書きのUIが圧倒的に使いやすい。 書き順がわかりにくい漢字は書き順の動画を見れる。 語彙数も豊富で、成句検索した時にも漢字ごとの意味が表示できる。 これが無料で広告無し。 開発者は仏ですか。
中国語学習者必携
インターフェースのわかりやすさ、機能の充実ぶりもさることながら、課金で好きなだけコンテンツの充実が図れる上に、一度課金してしまえば一位のパスが発行されるので、iOS、Android間で二重課金が必要ない点。良心的。
中英辞典。
中日辞典アプリと比べて収録されている語彙数が圧倒的に多い。あと、簡体字と繁体字両方の字体表記は有難い(繁体字は実に美しい字体である事に気付く)。語彙の意味は英語で解説されているが、日本の大学受験英語レベル(マーチクラス以上)が有れば、ほぼ問題無く使いこなせると思う。逆に英語に自信の無い日本人の方は中日辞典アプリの方が使いやすいと思うが、アプリだと収録語数と例文数が情け無いくらい貧相なので(ストアにある有償中日辞典アプリは全てダウンロードして比較済み)、別途に電子辞書を用意し、その中の中日辞典をメインに使用しながらじゃないと中国語の上達は難しいと思う。有償アドオンは7千円ちょっとなので、これで永遠に買えない時間を色々とセーブ出来るなら安いと思う。最大の売りであるOCR機能はこれから試してみようと思う。
so good
I’ve been using Pleco for...5-6 years now...and for a good reason. It truly is a remarkable app, and soooo helpful for studying Chinese (from middle school, to high school, and now in college). What would take 4 apps, only takes one! It also helps that the interface is friendly. Definitely recommend!
出会えてよかった
広東語を専門的に勉強している者です。 普通話辞書は世の中に多く存在しますが、デジタル(アプリ)の広東語辞書があるとは思いませんでした。口語の漢字表記を検索しても出てくるので本当にありがたいです。
固有名詞や最新の用語も載っている
アメリカの大統領の名前や百度などの中国の企業の固有名詞、スマートフォンなどの最新用語にも対応している。 中日の紙の辞書、及びアプリではスマートフォンの対訳さえ載っていなかったのもあったので重宝している
Customizable and well set-up
I wish I had an app like this when I first started my language learning journey with Japanese. This app is customizable (I have purchased several add-on features and dictionaries) and so easy to use.
