This is a must have app for learning Chinese with intermediate fluency. I take a picture of the Chinese characters I want to learn throughout the day, then at night I use this app to figure out the meaning and pronunciation, then I practice reading and writing. It's so much faster than using a dictionary to look up the characters! After using the app a while I know which fonts and styles it supports and so I take pictures that it will recognize. No bubble letters, unusual fonts, handwriting. Edited

it could be me not knowing how to use this properly, but it recognizes some characters sometimes.what is funny, is it not picking up simple ones like 人, but will snag 您 with many strokes. i wish i could show a picture to illustrate. but, even for the inaccuracy, i can see something like this being a life saver abroad. you'll see what words it thinks it is, so its not as though it's spitting back sentences with no context. it will never confuse you more than help.

Failed in many cases to decipher characters in camera mode. It works well if characters are very clear and the text color is rich. Apps does not really meeting my requirements and expectations. Need to improve further. Edited

Thank you for your review. Character recognition is around 98% accurate for normal text. The app does not support stylised words on labels, or if you are using the camera on a computer screen. Generally speaking, we recommend using Image mode. Please send us an email about your particular usage and we will look into it. Kind regards, Mark

Tested a few similar apps before deciding on this one. Works pretty well on standard fonts as long once you get the hang of the optimal zoom level. I also own the Popup app for >2 years and it has been a great app. Edited

Good interface design. Keep working on the OCR. It couldn't recognize 小 ...a 30mm tall 小 , black color on a plain white color background. ...so I will try it again in the future.

Thank you for your review. Character recognition accuracy depends on many factors such as stylization of font, background image etc. The accuracy is about 99.5% for Simplified Chinese but that's assuming regular text (i.e. in lines/paragraphs).
