So groups are always looking for more translators. I speak and understand Mandarin Chinese, but can only read and write a little. This product comes highly recommended:

Have any groups out there tried it? Any opinions, recommendations?

just read alot. not worth wasting money on this crap.

My parents wasted thousands on me going to chinese school and I still can barely write lol :/

After junior year i'ma start reading more newspapers and shit... make my chinese betta

I ish a cleaner.

If you have a series with a Chinese translation that needs TC'ing. feel free to pop me a msg. ^_^

@distorted: I feel the same. And my parent's put me up to around 5 years of chinese school, and i can't remember a thing XD.

It was when i learned mandarin @ highschool when i actually started comprehending things.

But my though on this pen thing is that it's.. very interesting, and may be helpful.. but I have my doubts on it doing a 100% good job on scanning all chinese characters. Some of them look strikingly similar, can it detect those differences with a single scan?

I wouldn't buy it though v_v;
Although it's useful, I don't need it.

thousands of dollars?? i spent like $25 a year for 12 years XD

As if handcuffed, I'm bound to the memories of you...

No need for it
Even if it does work, I'm fine without it

Lalala~

it's not like i'm gonna spend my own money on that thing. I'm can speak and read mandarin chinese, and my parents are fluent in chinese anyways. I could translate some chinese, but hopefully not traditional, cuz i don't know a lot. (though i could always ask my mom to help... 😕 )

WHAT! lol

It was like $14 a lesson weekly. A trimester was 500-ish and a year's worth was 1.5k.....
so after a few years.... yeah... lots of money down the drain 🙁

It's over 9000!
