So bloody helpful for my homework                     So helpful YouthMUSE

This app is completely useless for one with no knowledge of Chinese characters trying to interpret a string of characters I ve not been able to get it to translate anything correctly even a string of characters for which I know the translation     Lost in China Unhelpful, Still

Translating feature is accurate                     This app is helpful for learning chinese Very easy to use and helped me a lot jballer22

Literally unusable translations when it works at all If it were free it would still be junk     Complete crap Ringstad In Texas

The main problem of the software is the OCR algorithm used of this application The accuracy is much lower than the IPhone default Chinese input The author of the application should seriously consider to choose a better OCR algorithm I suspect that he she might only use an outdated OCR algorithm             It needs improvement 朱南君

This app doesn t pick up on about one third of the characters simplified I ve tried so far However what it does find is fairly accurate This app is not worth the price now but maybe with some improvements             Reasonable Cfjgdgjjkhgcdgjkhf

This app is not worth the money I thought the concept of using your camera would be great First try though it kept giving multiple options over and over for the same writing No specific translation Now it doesn t give any translation with the camera and the hand written translation you draw it in gave a completely different translation from another app I have The other app was free and it works better     Does not work Ccc3ccc

Impressive and close to vital when traveling in China                     Very useful and easy to use Tomapi125

OCR is always a tricky thing This app does a pretty bang up job but has difficulty with certain things such as text and background contrast stylized text such as calligraphy font and extra thick fonts and characters with lots of strokes One such example is It performs best on plain text containing thin lines and when live detection is turned off You must also have very steady hands and sufficient light when taking snapshots I wish it were possible for the camera s flash to function while using it either as a flash or as a flashlight However you can get around this by taking a picture using the camera app and then accessing the camera roll from this app Unlike another reviewer s comment I did find that this app is capable of recognizing terms consisting of two or more characters that are compounded It can read vertically as well All in all I do recommend this app and look forward to further improvements One thing I would like to see is the ability to have spoken audio for the read text                 Impressive Ahikanana

Super helpful and easy to use Highly recommend for Chinese learners and travelers to China alike                     Great app Tchill05

Very useful                     Awesome trangnart

Living close to Chinatown in SF and having tried multiple classes to read chinese without any success i am stoked to find this app It reads really well store fronts ads on MUNI the bus I am having a lot of fun and actually can decipher stuff Now i even start to remember characters and their meanings Thanks Han You                     Finally i can read Chinese Jojnr6171717

Trash does n work     Wasted money Ro Wen

This is an excellent idea but as currently designed isn t very useful It only recognizes and translates a single character at a time which given the fact that most words and concepts in chinese are made up of two or more characters that may or may not be related to the individual characters renders the app fairly useless compared to the translation ability of say Google Translate Also the camera often misreads characters especially if they re in anything other than a very standard typed font If the app could be improved by 1 adding recognition of full sentences or phrases and translating all of it together and 2 improving recognition of characters this app would blow other translation apps out of the water         Good idea poor execution Southleft

I am a previous user of Yomiwa the Japanese counterpart of HanYou which I already loved This new app is as handy and great for well needed on the fly translation I am traveling to Shanghai next month and will for sure use it a lot                     Super handy and easy to use Costa Rica backpacker
