iCED Chinese/English Dictionary 1.0


Category: Reference
Price: Free (iTunes)

Description:

iCED for iPhone and iPod Touch is the beginning of a new way to use a Chinese dictionary. After you've found the entry you were searching for, iCED will continue to search for compound or component entries to complement your search. Component entry dissection allows you to quickly understand the meaning of components in longer words or phrases. For example, if you look up 中华人民共和国, iCED will also look up 中华 and 人民共和国. You can then select the latter to break it up into 人民 and 共和国. When you get to single characters, iCED will look up compound entries starting with that character.

FEATURES:
- search using English words, Chinese characters (using the Chinese hand recognition built into the iPhone OS), Hanyu Pinyin (with or without tone numbers) and radical index
- supports both traditional and simplified characters
- traditional KangXi radical index when using traditional characters, alternate radical index for simplified characters
- search-as-you-type feature shows you results as you type and searches are very fast; no need to tap the Search button then wait for results
- history list keeps track of searches for quick review
- application loads quickly

*** And many more features to come ***

PRO VERSION:
A Pro version is in development that will feature the renowned ABC Chinese-English Comprehensive Dictionary by the University of Hawaii Press, edited by the late John DeFrancis. Some sample entries of this extensive dictionary are included with this version of iCED. The Pro version will feature:

- comprehensive, yet very readable layout
- extensive use of Hanyu Pinyin so that you can readily pronounce words without further lookup
- many example sentences to show you how to use the head word
