Pleco Chinese Dictionary OCR Demo

Posted by admin under Chicks on Sunday Mar 6, 2011


Demonstration of the new OCR feature for our Pleco Chinese Dictionary software ( www.pleco.com ), which allows you to instantly look up words simply by pointing your iPhone’s camera at them. You can try this out in the latest version of Pleco (2.2); search for “Pleco” in iTunes to download our free basic app, open it, tap on the menu button at the bottom right corner of the screen, tap “Add-ons,” tap on “Optical Character Recognizer,” then tap on the button to download and try the demo. This works best on the iPhone 4, but should work quite well on the 3GS too (as long as it’s been upgraded to iOS 4); unfortunately, it won’t work on the iPod Touch 4th-gen or the iPhone 3G, as the cameras on those devices lack autofocus and so can’t see characters clearly enough to recognize them.

Gameplay The game has a more closed gameplay atmosphere. In a description by Game Informer, the gameplay is reminiscent of BioShock. Gameplay places just as much focus on Batman’s role as a detective as his combat prowess. Most of the game is played from Batman’s perspective through an over-the-shoulder, third person perspective, similar to that of Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space.

Arkham will be a persistent location that the player is able to freely roam, including an area that serves as Batman’s secret on-site Bat Cave. Arkham will make use of Batman’s many gadgets to accomplish tasks and take down foes, such as using the grapple gun to get a better perspective on a particular area. Combat Some boss battles are focused on combat while others will focus on gadgets. Combat description features Batman perched on a high ledge in a wide open room as he watches some of the Joker’s thugs rifle through drawers. Batman switches to investigation mode using a blue tinted visor that among other things lets Batman see his enemies through walls and identifies things like guns and knives. One thug is carrying a machine gun, so Batman jumps off the ledge, spreads his cape, and stuns him. He then swipes his cape to stun his
