If in near future Hanping application will have an integrated add_on to show how to write Chinese charachters? The available internet link in the program isn't much convenient for some customers like me as the speed of internet connection isn't good in our places.

Thank you for your suggestion. It's something we are looking into but have not made any concrete plans for yet.

Please add flash card spaced repetition learning feature to Hanping :)
Pleco has added "spaced repetition" learning features with flash cards which is similar to the Anki software (ankisrs net). I recently started using memrise's implementation of spaced repetition on their web site and I started to learn characters very quickly. I love using the pro version of the Hanping chinese english dictionary. I would love to have be able to use my cell phone during the day to learn new characters from the accurate and reliable information provided by your dictionary. You could add in application purchases to increase your revenue and help your company. I already recommend your dictionary to everyone who is interested in learning written chinese language 中文 and spoken chinese language 普通话 I would be so excited if you would add "spaced repetition" learning with flash cards that allow you to play audio as well.

Sorry that I haven't read through 14 pages of suggestions before posting. So, either this is "new" or it's a vote for something already suggested :o

In the free app, at the top of the dictionary entry page (Hanping Lite), there's a circle with a filled "Gold" center. When I press it, it says "Pro only". No complaints there, but I think you should take the opportunity to "advertise" a little! Tell me what that little circle does! I'm not going to buy the pro version just to find out <smile>, but the message should say something more along the lines of "The 'free bag of gold' feature is only available in the Pro version", or whatever short message you deem appropriate. I'd say to customize the message for the screen size too. I have a tablet, so a longer message would be appreciated, although I imagine a phone screen might require a less understandable message.

For the "Share" option, please give an option to share/send to ONLY the chinese, or only the pinyin, or English, or all. I had a long sentence (entered via voice), that I sent to Google Translate, for example. It got everything, rather than the (more) appropriate Chinese text only.

I love the minimalistic interface

Stephan

Thanks Stephan!

That gold circle is supposed to represent a speaker which is supposed to represent playing the chinese audio. In the past, the icons to the pro features would result in a dialog box coming up but we got complaints about that, so we decided to use Toasts (the temporary short messages which come up without interrupting the user flow) instead.

"Pro only" is designed to be a minimalistic solution but you might be right that a little more information would help. I'll look into it for the next update.

Yes, I agree about the "Share" option. I've wanted this personally for some time but just haven't had the time to implement it.

Expect an update at the end of this month or next month at the very latest.

Hi,

I am using Hanping Pro and Hanping OCR. Both are wonderful apps, but now I notice in the last Hanping Pro version that for me there are too much icons on the right of the search bar (Hanping icon on the left + camera, keyboard, brush and settings on the right), so I find search bar to be too short. That's just a little point of view. Anyway thanks for these very useful apps!!! ;)

Edit: well, I must have seen wrong, when I start writing a word icons disapear, so search bar is long enough, sorry for my mistake!!!

Toggle of Simplified doesn't work

Post by crawf100 »

Traditional vs Simplified Chinese: When I toggle the Traditional Only button on settings, the app still defaults to Simpified Chinese. This is a pain as I live in Taiwan and we use the real chinese.

What can I do?
