DianHua Dictionary Audio Module
DianHua Audio Dictionary is a Chinese English dictionary for the iPhone and iPod touch including audio pronunciation of all words and phrases. Using data from the CC-CEDICT project, DianHua Audio Dictionary provides search support for English, Mandarin Pinyin (with or without tones), Traditional Characters, Simplified Characters, and mixed searches consisting of any combination of the above.
Other features of the DianHua Audio Dictionary include:
- Audio: Hear clear pronunciations of all entries in the dictionary.
- Search History: All search terms entered into the Search field are stored in your Search History. Touch any term in the list to see the results.
- Bookmarks: Arrange all of the words you are studying into a nested hierarchy of Folders.
- Writing Practice: Under the Study tab, you can practice typing or writing characters using any of the iPhone's Simplified or Traditional keyboards, including the character drawing keyboards. Choose whether you want to see Pinyin and/or English for the prompt and draw or type the appropriate Chinese character into the box provided.
- Flashcards: Select any combination of Audio, Traditional, Simplified, English, and Pinyin for the Front and Back of the cards and grade your confidence in your answer. If you choose to use the Difficulty sorting algorithm, more difficult words will be shown more often than words you tend to answer correctly.
- Numbers: Convert numeric entries to Simplified and/or Traditional variants including their Banking equivalents. Touch the audio icon to hear arbitrary numbers spoken.
- History and Bookmark Synchronization: Using the Sync button under either the Search History or Bookmarks tabs allows you to upload your data to DianHuaDictionary.com. This can be useful merely for backup purposes, or you can use the Export functions of DianHuaDictionary.com to move your data into Spreadsheets or other Flashcard applications.
- Preferences: In the iPhone's Settings, you will find an entry for DianHua that will allow you adjust font sizes and turn Traditional and Simplified characters on or off.
