4. What are the unique features of the target software compared to other similar software?

A: I have used a Youdao dictionary and PowerWord. I think

1) The Bing Dictionary vocabulary is large, but it feels like they have a similar ability to search, and they all have corrective functions.

2) The translation of the Bing Dictionary is more accurate and reasonable, not only purely machine translation. But the translation of Youdao dictionary is purely machine translation, the result of translation is not reasonable and use habits, there are grammatical problems. PowerWord does not support machine translation function.

3) in the query function, also involves a query called a wildcard, Kingsoft PowerWord when we use the wildcard input in addition to the first key character, the following other wildcard system is not recognized. Youdao wildcard recognition is relatively limited, however, the Bing dictionary to the wildcard character can be accurately based on the arrangement of wildcards, the word conforms to the wildcard conditions of the keywords.

4) The Bing Dictionary can be used for voice translation.

5) compared to Youdao dictionary, Bing Dictionary picture is more concise, translation more accurate, but also have radio can listen at any time, more conducive to learning English.

5. Describe your experience of using the software. Memory usage, boot speed, etc.

A: 1) Bing dictionary only more than 10 trillion, but also need to download more than 20 megabytes of offline resources to strengthen the local dictionary, so it is more than a Youdao dictionary accounted for some memory.

2) The speed of the Bing dictionary is OK, it's not easy to get stuck, but sometimes it loses its response when you look up a word. When the dialog box for translating a word comes out, it is sometimes not possible to click Close.

3) Some of the words and phrases are useful to improve our vocabulary, and the dictionary will help you develop your daily tasks. But the radio listening needs to download, there is no local resources such as listening corpus, feeling a little consumption of traffic.

6. Software adaptability in exceptional situations. Networking/disconnection, different mobile phone screens, platforms and so on.

A: 1 The vocabulary of the dictionary is very large and there are a lot of examples in the Internet. The dictionary will only provide translation for local vocabulary when offline

2) There is no difference between the dictionary desktop and the content for different phone screens.

3) There is no difference in basic performance between Android and iOS two different platforms, but the interface is slightly different.

8. can the software support user feedback and follow-up optimization?

Answer: Support. In the settings can be updated and evaluation, update speed or relatively fast, but the evaluation can not be directly carried out, to be opened through other software, the feeling is not very convenient, can not allow developers to know the first time the user's opinion.

9. Add a question that is not covered above that you think is important

A: What else does the Bing dictionary need to improve?

1) Want to add scanning translation function;

2) Offline Dictionary is very powerful, other functions are diverse and not redundant, very practical, but synchronization is a bit slow, want to improve the account login, restart the software need to manually re-login problems.
