Many thanks for reviewing our Youdao Dictionary Pen 3 Global Version! We're excited to know that you like it and we hope your audience can enjoy language learning with our pen too!!
Love the concept. Portable, hopefully with a memory option and a downloadable option. If I'm reading a book it's great to be able to efficiently look up a word, and save it for future reference. A nice-to-have is to read a book and record an important sentence , or record a beautiful description.
Yeah, next time I go to Spain, I'll definitely bring it it. Pretty cool for reading the ingredients of certain foods. Although - google lens is pretty good at doing it too.
I've just purchased the YouDao Pen 3...it's very easy to use and pretty good overall in the translation from Chinese-English which I use most of the time to help me learn Chinese. One drawback I noticed so far is that when I scan a single word in English to Chinese, the translated Chinese word shows the word in Chinese but there is no audio accompanying it to let you listen to the word & pronunciation in Chinese. However when I scan a full sentence in English, the translated Chinese words have the audio accompanying it and you can hear & listen to the pronunciation. I certainly hope this option can be made available for single word scan in English -Chinese. Hopefully an update will be available in the near future
It's a great idea and implementation - only three languages at the moment is a bit limiting though, but if they get some more added on then it could be really great.
I love such products, in the past I had 1 like that that looked like a very small laptop with 2 color display and no option to scan. But I've got to be honest, it's hard probably for such a product to exist now when everyone has a powerful phone in his pocket that is probably via an app can do the same and sometimes maybe even better
@@smartyoudao First of all I highly appreciate to see the company itself replying here! I don't want to be rude or anything, I do like the product, but today there are learning apps as well and many things this pen can do are being done by smartphones too, but if you can somehow get maybe approval in universities which won't allow the use of smartphones or only particular dictionaries this might be a great hit
@@DimusTech Hi there, yes, you are correct, this product are more suitable for people who have a strong need for language learning as well as book reading, so that’s why we call it dictionary pen not translation pen. We are still working hard to introduce this new type of devices.☺️
Fair points indeed! I will probably rely on in in countries where roaming prices are crazy high. If Itravel to Turkey, although being next to my country, a Megabyte costs around 5 bucks...
Very interesting standalone translation product, a must for anyone travelling to China I guess. Would like to see more languages, but for starters it's a great English Chinese bridge
I love mine. I actually gotten it for the X BF if you wanna call him that ha ha but it works great. It does everything that the video says and more but I did not pay that much for it. That’s for sure but overall it’s worth it.
Looks like a nice product if you visit China or Spain. I am eager to find out how big of a text can it scan? Exit sign in a subway? If it can do this it is a very nice traveller gadget - it can help getting around in foreign countries. Let’s hope it will have more languages soon.
The real test is translating Japanese into understandable English. Japanese prose are constructed in a way where the object of the sentence is written before the subject. Which is complete opposite of English(and almost every other language actually) prose. On a separate topic; Can the UI/Text be enlarged? I am visually impaired and can only read large fonts(atleast size 18 font).
Hello, thanks for your comment, in the following software updates we´ll be adding Korean and Japanese languages, the translations are pretty accurate even to Japanese.
I'm a Mandarin learner and I am wondering if 拼音 and 繁體字 are available on it. I'm studying 古文 and I'm wondering if this pen could translate correctly a really old Chinese text (比如說：孔子，墨子，莊子).
@@kellyle8878 Hello! The pen can scan both, traditional and simplified characters. It can also scan very old Chinese texts, we have lots of in-built dictionaries that go from our own to Classical Poetry, and idioms. In total sum up to over 4.2 million entries.

Oh, great to see that you noticed the video! Keep up the great work, hopefully there will be more languages supported in the future.
@@TechMishka Thank you for the kind review! Definitely more languages like Japanese and Korean will be coming up next!

So glad you say this because that was a main reason for me to buy it.
Thank you for sharing this!
Hello Ronnie. Thank you very much for your feedback. We´ll be working on this for our future software updates.
👍👍👍👍

Hello Jason, thanks for your comment, in the following software updates we´ll be adding Korean and Japanese
Good to hear about the coming updates. I hope to see more European languages soon too.
👍👍👍

Hi there, this pen will be very useful for language learners, not just translating the languages. Translation is just one part of its functions.😄

Cool device, I think it's very useful, brilliant review Mihail 😍, you are the best ❤️
I hope it will some day help translating from my native language to yours. This would be massively great!

Hello Ivo, thanks for your comment, in the following software updates we´ll be adding Korean and Japanese
It is indeed. I liked the way they narrow down the way you write the Chinese words.
I love mine. I actually gotten it for the X BF if you wanna call him that ha ha but it works great. It does everything that the video says and more but I did not pay that much for it. That’s for sure but overall it’s worth it.
Great to hear that you got it at a much better price!

I don't think it will recognize the Exit sign in a subway. Never tried though.
Love it
👍
Thank you, I have just ordered the pen. Also the discount code was working, that makes me extra happy!
Glad it worked!Let's hope the pen will help you a lot with translating.
Which languages do you want to translate between?
@@TechMishka thank you! My main goal is EN-CH, but I saw that in a next software update also Korean will be covered, which will be useful as well!
Pls can you tell me when will you make a video on Huawei band 7
Ihope soon. There was one ordered from Aliexpress and the order got cancelled. I guess I will wait for the official European edition.

Does it work with traditional characters?
Do you think the Youdao is more accurate than google translate image recognition?
No, not anymore
Does it translate from English to English for literature students?
As far as I remember it is not supported
I'm a Mandarin learner and I am wondering if 拼音 and 繁體字 are available on it. I'm studying 古文 and I'm wondering if this pen could translate correctly a really old Chinese text (比如說：孔子，墨子，莊子).
Hey Kelly, unfortunately I no longer have the pen around to be able to confirm...
@@TechMishka oh thank you for your answer! It was a useful video actually 😁

What is the market price now??
That I am not sure about...
It's really good. But the sad thing is that thing is really very expensive for me.
True that. A free alternative is to use Google lens.
Thank you for the video but the promo code is not working in amazon😢
Try to reach out to Youdao directly - they usually have some discount options.
Hello, thank you for your inquiry, the code is still available at our official website.
What other language can it translate to??
Currently - these are the only 3 supported for this particular model. As far as I know there's a newer edition with more languages supported.
Since its android.... Can you root it?
Hahaha, didn't find a way to do that
@@TechMishka someone has

We need croatian language
