Use in Android phone environment

The first part: research

1. First-time experience

This browser I have been used for many years, but also the first browser on my mobile phone, overall, this browser homepage (1) is very concise, there are many popular sites, but also directly online to watch videos and novels, the homepage has some recent news, the box also supports voice input. First feeling function is very good, easy to use.

Of course, the good software is sure to have bugs, but sometimes no one found, or the software owner did not want to repair. Using many years of QQ browser I also found it a bug,qq browser online novel for a lot of people who like to read novels provide great convenience, here we can collect a lot of books. But these 2 years many novels all need to pay to see, remember the book here before 2015 is free. Needless to say, online fiction old users may have found this bug, is 2015 years ago to join the bookshelf of the free novel, until now can still be free to see, such as the "Big Master" novel (Figure 2), this is the previous cover, a long time ago to join the shelf's current cover has not changed, But when the book was collected, the cover changed to pay for it (Figure 3). Looking at their catalog comparisons, the most obvious finding is that later books appear to pay, although content is optimized and chapters are less.

Bug Analysis:

The cause of this bug may be that the previous link was not deleted, but simply covered the original collection link, resulting in the subsequent person can not find the link, but the original to join the Bookshelf is still able to find the book from the book on the bookshelf to see.

Therefore, it is very good to design a function that can intelligently recognize text and voice playback. At present, many users are fond of intelligent products, can bring a lot of convenience, voice playback not only for a lot of people bring convenience, and some people know less words, have voice play can make them immediately learn the word, and quickly read, so users will like this feature.
