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. Please contact us at support@pleco.com, via the form at http://www.pleco.com/contact.html, or using the in-app "Contact Support" command with any questions - we'll be delighted to hear from you.}

one of the best appa to help you with your chinese, you can draw the character, write the meaning in english and even write the pronounciation. for each character there are many examples on how theyre used in various sentances, you can listen to the pronounciation and it also shows you the stroke order

This is the best Chinese learning/dictionary app available. The ease of use is unparalleled, the OCR is excellent, the additional content provides endless articles at varying levels. It seems like everything in the app is personalizable. This app is simply the best, I cannot overstate how integral Pleco has been to my Chense language learning over the last 10 years.

This is an amazing app and a great resource for learning and lookup. I am especially grateful that they are not gouging customers with subscription fees for basic functions making it absolutely worth purchasing. Thus, Happily purchased addon upgrades to keep supporting. Please keep doing a great job making this THE standard C-E dictionary!!

Before Pleco always hit the mark on translations. Now every time I encounter Chinese people I use this for translation and they say the vocabulary is archaic

Absolutely the best dictionary available. BUT I’m so annoyed it doesn’t sync between devices. I’ve tried several times to get the flashcards from my phone onto my ipad, but it doesn’t work. And you can’t sync lookup history. If it had this connectivity, it would be 5 stars.

This is hands down the most vital app for serious Chinese students and people wanting to use Chinese regularly and seriously. I lived in China 13 years and hardly a day went by when I didn’t use it at my desk or on the street. Can’t say enough good about it. Always works, fast, tons of info and functionality for various situations.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

If you are starting to learn Mandarin, this is a must have app. At first, it might be overwhelming, but it provides a lot of cool features. I do not regret getting the basic bundle, and I am currently considering upgrading to the professional one. I love that. It is not a subscription based app. The only issue I face is that the Kai font does not always display properly on the iPad, especially under the strokes tab. I always have to switch to my iPhone, when I’m practising my writing. I wish that can be fixed.
