About Us

Pleco Software is a cool little New York company focused on exactly one thing: creating the world's best tools for learning Chinese.

Our flagship product, Pleco® Chinese Dictionary for iPhone / iPad and Android, gives you everything you need to look up and study Chinese vocabulary: content from nine different dictionaries, handwriting input, camera-based character lookups, flexible Pinyin searches, audio, stroke order diagrams, a built-in document reader, and one of the most advanced and customizable flashcard systems ever invented. And all of this running on a device you can carry around in your pocket.

We're profitable, privately-held, and have been in business since 2000, and we back up our products with excellent customer service, an active user community, and generous upgrade policies.
