Pros
It is very helpful in learning writing Chinese. Each sign is shown stoke by stroke <p>and the different parts of the sign are in different colors so you can find the radicals <p>more easily. <p>The pronounciation of the words is very clear so even European ears can distinguish <p>the different tones. <p>Seeing each sign written stroke by stroke and hearing the pronounciation helps very <p>much to learn the signs with their different meanings. <p>All in all you could say Hanzi Explorer offers everything you need to learn a language <p>as complicated as the Chinese language safe a teacher you can ask direct questions <p>or practice speaking with.

Summary
Most comprehensive Chinese character reference I've seen
psunNovember 16, 2005
Pros
I have tried several Chinese character software tools, but this is one of the most comprehensive. It has two features which I find very unique. First the stroke order feature shows not only the order of the stroke, but also the direction of the stroke. Direction of the stroke is also very important in writing characters. Second, its dictionary captures the polyphones of the characters. Most characters only have a single pronunciation, but many commonly used characters have multiple tones. The dictionary seems to accurately present the correct pronunciation of the character when used in a polyphonic word.
Cons
The user interface is quirky and non-intuitive. At first the software appears to be dysfunctional, because the user-interface is so strange. But once you get used to the authors quirks, then its really amazing.
Summary
It's a helpful tool to learning Chinese,especially for non-native speakers.

Pros
One of the highlights of this product is that different parts of a Chinese character are shown in different colors so as to make it easy to recognize the complex character.Besides,the pronounciation is slow and clear enough to follow.It's a helpful tool to learning Chinese,especially for non-native speakers.
