The software is mainly for students or white-collar and other needs to learn English people to query English, translate English, listen to English and so on. 2. Enumerate the core features of the target software? (10 points)the core function of the software is to search for words, translate words, store words, word challenges, I love to speak English, and radio, and also can synchronize new words, and cross-software query.    3. What features are designed to enhance the user experience? (10 points)

The main interface updates daily words and recommended articles every day, allowing you to memorize words and improve your reading every day. and the words with color illustrations, can deepen the memory. The word search is the essence of the dictionary app, and the Bing Dictionary supports the translation of Chinese and English words, and the input will automatically give the candidate words, fast response. And there is not much difference in speed between the network and the disconnected environment. The local thesaurus of the Bing Dictionary can be used for everyday use, with a richer post-networking function, with not only semantic parsing, but also numerous sample sentences and even sentences with pronunciations and videos. This is a very satisfying experience for the user. However, there is a common problem of almost all translation software, the software follows a simple literal translation, the translated sentences will not fluent, meaning may change, let people confused. The same is true of the Bing Dictionary, which, if it can be improved, greatly enhances the translation function.

4. What are the unique features of the target software compared to other similar software? (10 points)

Compared to PowerWord, Bing has more features, such as new words, the word challenge Ah Bing radio and so on the function is PowerWord No, Bing also has a shake a shake function, have a word this, back words and other modules, shake a shake will appear problems, like testing. Bing also has the function of voice translation, reducing our typing time, convenient and fast, but now many dictionary apps have added a camera to the word, if Bing can also add a camera to the word that is better.

5. Describe your experience of using the software. Memory usage, boot speed, etc. (10 points)

I am using the iOS version of the Bing Dictionary, memory consumption of about 56M, running speed and boot speed are relatively fast. It feels good when using the Bing dictionary, the interface is concise, Bing Dictionary uses the time axis homepage, has the daily word, the daily sentence, the recommended reading plate, the word of the day is illustrated, with pronunciation and phonetic transcription. Usually use of the top search is more, with the Bing dictionary under the search is not very accustomed to.

Bing Search word function good word meaning presentation of concise, part-of-speech transformation, synonyms, antonyms, and even word collocation have, the dictionary also includes English and Chinese, English and English and network interpretation. In addition, for each word, there are a series of examples below, including the pronunciation of examples, video, Bing has a built-in Bing search feel good.

6. Software adaptability in exceptional situations. Networking/disconnection, different phone screens, platforms, etc. (10 points)

I separately in the network and disconnected the environment under the search word, found the word speed is similar, the only thing that I feel regret is that Bing does not have local pronunciation, in the case of broken nets can not use the pronunciation function, it will prompt "download failed." Bing Dictionary is equipped with local thesaurus, even in the case of a broken network can also be able to view the local interpretation, can meet the daily use of users, of course, the network after the rich features. In the case of Bing broken network can only use its dictionary, word of the kinetic energy, such as translation and other functions can not be used, it will prompt "Users and the internet has been disconnected." However, if the user downloads the listening resources, then after the network is broken, you can select "Local listening" in "My Radio" to listen to English.

I am using the iOS version of Bing, the students to compare the Android version, found that there are some differences (, the left is the iOS version, the right is the Android version), and the Android version of the Bing dictionary to update a little faster. Android has more features such as voice translation and shake-out than iOS. Another Android version of the home page will recommend some other software, and the iOS version does not, but feel good, unlike other software ads flying, always appear ads pop-up window. In addition, there is no obvious difference between the screen of the phone, but I personally prefer the larger screen, the feeling looks more comfortable.

7. Can the software support memory user usage habits (10 points)

Bing Dictionary supports the user's habits, the user will display the last time the user remembers the words and grammar, so that users know the new. Even in the remote landing software can still support the user's usage habits, so the software is very practical.

8. Can the software support user feedback, follow-up optimization (10 points)

Software is supported by user feedback, and subsequent optimizations. A new software, the process can be likened to imaging a person's growth, it is necessary to constantly improve according to the needs of users, if you want to do a good software, is the need to constantly follow up the needs of the vast number of users, and then constantly improve the functionality of the software has been constantly updated and supplemented. Because people's thinking at first is not particularly perfect, a new software when developed, fixed there are a lot of shortcomings, and the fundamental purpose of software development is to serve the needs of the vast number of users, so as to better serve the work and life, like a lot of classical theory, with the development of the Times, New understandings and perceptions are also given, as is software, which is constantly improving as the technology needs to be improved. Therefore, the feedback to the user's suggestions, so that the software developers can better meet the needs of customers, thereby creating better economic value.

In other words, how a software ignores the needs of users, it will be used by WHO, its value in where, not the customer's response, no one to use it, it also lost its existence value, so the software's follow-up optimization is essential, through the optimization can again and again to get the favor of users, To create a higher economic value.
