Update: I used to just use Google Translate for my Chinese homework, but my tutor in Shanghai said to switch to Pleco
After a month, my character recognition is way better because Pleco forces you to look at the radicals. Anyone else find one app totally changed how you learn?

Pleco made me realize how bad my handwriting is. I tried writing a character from memory and my phone's camera just gave up trying to read it. The radical breakdown is a lifesaver, even if it's a bit of an ego check.

Oh man @mark676, I feel that. My trick is to slow way down and make each stroke super clear, even if it feels silly. The camera needs cleaner lines than pen and paper. Try writing bigger in the box too, gives the software more to work with.
