The instructions are hopelessly confusing and unclear. **Developer response:** Maybe the tutorial video can help ### 5/5 — عظيم *2025-10-28* عظيم ### 5/5 — 还可以 *2025-09-29* 整体界面干净整洁，看起来很舒服，发音也很清晰，功能也还不错。但是我不知道你们这个软件设计初衷是不是只面向中国人，因为我觉得还挺适合其他国家的汉语学习者使用。所以我接下来的建议是针对国外用户。1️⃣建议名字设置一个英文名字，这样方便在软件商店里找到。2️⃣软件里可以切换语言，但是个人认为初次进入软件弹出选择语言模式会更好，毕竟学拼音的基本上才刚开始学中文，不认识汉字，不知道在哪儿切换语言。3️⃣虽然文字可以切换语言，但是语音播报还是中文，例如测试时，学生不知道自己是选对了还是选错了，如果能设置成对应的语言会更好。4️⃣在跟读模式中，中间设置停顿会更好。5️⃣建议韵母表加上剩下的11个三拼音节。 **Developer response:** 您好，非常感谢您的认可和关心，这个软件主要就是面向外国人的。以下我将逐条对您的建议做出回复：1️⃣.英文和其他文的名字都有，App Store会根据使用者系统语言自动判断。2️⃣.语言切换也是自动的，初次启动会根据用户的系统语言自动识别。3️⃣语音播报确实只有中文，加上所有外文对我来说有难度，可以考虑先加上英文的。4️⃣跟读模式设置停顿这个建议很好，后续版本会改进。5️⃣三拼音节（uan,iang这种）在国内教学中已不作为复韵母，本软件中可以直接选择“j+i+ang+声调”这种组合，出现在三拼音节中的“i，u，ü”，现在教学中称为“介母”，不过好像外国人对这个情况不是很清楚，不久前刚有个西语使用者问过类似的问题。再次感谢您的宝贵建议，也期待未来更多交流，祝您日常顺遂，万事舒心！ ### 4/5 — Does what it says generally *2025-06-15* Edit: changing to 4 stars because it seems like it is not able to pronounce complete pinyin. It can only say an initial or a final separately. I could be mistaken but I could not figure it out **Developer response:** In the spell mode, Select an initial consonant, a final vowel, and a tone, then click the spell button in the bottom left corner to produce the overall pinyin. Perhaps a video on how to use it will be provided in a later version ### 5/5 — Does what it says *2025-06-09* ^ ### 5/5 — simple and useful app *2025-05-13* as the title said ### 5/5 — Спасибо, звук появился *2024-12-10* Отличное приложение! ## Frequently asked questions about Chinese Pinyin LearningMachine ### What is Chinese Pinyin LearningMachine?
