Larry Language Lover Posted June 22, 2023 at 11:59 AM Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 at 11:59 AM Anybody have any experience or recommendations with these? Up to yesterday I didn't even know they existed, until I saw one demonstrated on a Chinese teacher's YouTube video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted June 26, 2023 at 10:01 PM Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 at 10:01 PM Sounds like something that should be available for 20 Kellogg's Rice Krispie Breakfast Cereal box tops plus $1.98 to cover costs of shipping and handling. For a few additional box tops, you can also get the Magic Decoder Ring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vellocet Posted June 27, 2023 at 09:46 AM Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 at 09:46 AM Kids used to use them for English. They're still around, although smartphone-based OCR has largely made them obsolete. I recommend the app Pleco for OCR that will read the characters and put them into a form that can be copied and pasted. Most translators just translate to English and won't give you the characters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Language Lover Posted June 27, 2023 at 08:17 PM Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 at 08:17 PM I first learned about it here from a Youtube Chinese teacher I like (in Chinese) https://youtu.be/N1mf8RDOnSs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suMMit Posted June 28, 2023 at 04:51 AM Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 at 04:51 AM I checked on 淘宝 various prices starting at 399块钱 and up to 1000. Also saw a 华为 (similar?) one for 139. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
