Ratings and reviews

New Post Has something happened to the copy all the translated text so that I can paste into another app? I am sure I used to be able to copy/select all of the text anf jyutping together (in colour)

I really like how clear this app is to use and it's excellent as a Canto dictionary in general. I initially had some issues with the speech-to-text engine as well, but they were quickly addressed by the developer. This review has been edited to reflect that.

I have had this for many years now and I do not regret purchasing this one bit. It is absolutely essential and useful for daily use. You got words, phrases, idioms and even slangs in this dictionary used by locals. I have had certain times where friends and colleagues would not be able to translate a word for me in English so I had them pronounce the word(s) using the mic feature in the app, and not surprisingly, the app manages to find exactly what they are trying to translate. If that does not work, they can use the in-app handwriting feature. It will detect the written words and tell you the romanizations of said word(s) (and for some words, even the steps for how it is written!), and you can even listen to how it is pronounced! I mean, it cannot get more convenient than this.
