can't install text you speech or make it work. keeps prompting to install?
does not read out the Chinese words
This app was working fine and then I remember paying for it but then it suddenly stopped working, can't even paste words when I wanted to use it again so I uninstalled it and installed it again. At first it can paste words and show meanings already but it can't speak words when I click on it or click read page. Then suddenly it started speaking, like the command was delayed. Then I tried to make it stop reading but it doesn't stop even when I exit the app and remove from recent apps on my Android phone. I reset my phone before downloading. Is it my phone or the app?
free version is useless ( there are better alternative free text reader app).
Program really lacks ability to show pinyin along the characters. That's makes learning by reading rather ineffective. Inability to import text from txt/ebook file also big drawback.
Great, finally a reader, no longer need to search a dictionary.
Hi can you please tell me how to get the read text out loud working? Is this only for the paid version?
The view is great
when I select a word, the intonations show up but then the word gets partially cut off on the right side. It's really distracting, please fix.
I study languages a lot and I find this program useful. It's the only Android app I know that annotates Chinese. I just paste in news articles and I'm able to quickly read without needing to look things up externally. So great!
Just what I was looking for. Works great! I can't believe it's free!
Would be better if it had voice pronunciation of each word both in cantonese and mandarin otherwise v good app!!
Long awaited! Great tool for hanyu learners.
Could not manage to read aloud long text , not even sentences. Could hear only selected words There is no help file. Please help.
This app is absolutely useful for me. Thanks for it. Tell me please if there any possibility of plugging in third party dictionaries to this app?
Ok but the interface is awkward
amazing other than the spaces and the characters turning green when I click them.
