Pleco Basic (Pocket PC) 2.0.2
Chinese dictionary and flashcard tool for mobile devices.
Basic Edition includes the Oxford Concise English & Chinese Dictionary only. This is best for people new to learning Chinese, or whose primary exposure to Chinese is in a classroom setting (textbooks and worksheets and the like) as opposed to real-world newspapers / conversations / TV shows.
Here are some key features of “Pleco Basic (Pocket PC)”:
· Great Dictionaries – includes eight of the world’s best Chinese dictionaries, including the ABC Chinese-English Comprehensive Dictionary edited by John DeFrancis (with almost 200,000 entries), the Oxford Concise English & Chinese Dictionary, the Chinese-Chinese Xiandai Hanyu Guifan Cidian, the 280,000-entry 21st Century English-Chinese Dictionary, and the new Tuttle Learner’s Chinese-English Dictionary.
· Handwriting Recognition – simply write in an unknown character to instantly look up its Pinyin and meaning; unlike most other Chinese handwriting recognizers, ours will let you take as long as you like to draw a character and can deal with less-than-perfect stroke order. It also supports cursive writing, helpful for more advanced users (or for asking people to write down what they’re saying when you can’t understand them).
· Powerful Search – search for words by characters, Pinyin (with or without tones), or a mix, with support for wildcards and for full-text search to find words appearing anywhere in a dictionary definition.
· Flashcard System – create a card from any dictionary entry with a single button tap, import premade word lists, automatically optimize which cards come up the most often based on how well you remember them, and test vocabulary in a variety of ways including multiple-choice tests and tone drills.
· Audio Pronunciation – instantly hear a native-speaker audio recording of each Chinese headword; recordings are available for over 34,000 words, and work in flashcards as well as in the main dictionary.
· Stroke Order Diagrams – view animations of how to draw each character (over 15,000 characters are covered), and test yourself on the correct stroke order in flashcards.
· Document Reader – open a Chinese-language text file and look up unknown words simply by tapping on them.
· Self-contained – includes its own Chinese font system, so it works on even an English-language handheld or smartphone without any additional software.
· Taiwan- and Mainland-friendly – supports both traditional and simplified characters (in dictionary definitions, flashcards, stroke order diagrams, searches, and the handwriting recognizer), and supports Zhuyin as well as Pinyin for headword search and display.
· Instant Access – highlight a word in another application on your handheld / smartphone and instantly look it up in Pleco, making it easy to translate SMSes and other Chinese text.
