Pleco the Chinese Dictionary


        I must share this app with everyone especially prospect Chinese teachers.



        I learned this app from my student teaching placement.  When I observed my cooperating teacher's class, I found out that some students were using their smartphones to scan the text.  After asking one of the students, I learned that the students were using this app to look up the characters they were not familiar with.

        This app allows the students to scan more than one character at a time.  After scanning, the app will tell the Pinyin and meaning of the character.  It is easy to use and helpful for Chinese language learners.  Most importantly, it is free!

        Let's watch how users can use this app to look up the characters:


        This app can be found on both Google Play Store and iTunes:
