"I knew nothing about Chinese machine translation when I started on the
book. George's exposition is so clear that now I could easily run a
workshop on the subject. If you need to understand Chinese text, you
can't do better than to rely on this book."

"This is an excellent book about learning Chinese reading with the help of technology. In addition to using computer programs, it gives insight into the Chinese language as a whole. The explanations are very clear and into details, and the real-life examples are very practical."

"This is the first and best book of a new era - helping people who are not yet good in Chinese to read Chinese.
People who have limited proficiency in Chinese can understand Chinese with the help of software like Chinese OCR and Chinese-English translation suites. The author outlines the approach, provides with detail description and instructions for each components in the flow, and completes with abundant real-life examples. The witty topics on Chinese language equip the readers with common sense on the Chinese texts they are handling; it also builds their capacity on the interpretation and the refining of the processed texts.
The author's broad knowledge in the area and the unprecedented tests and evaluations he had performed on numerous Chinese language related tools, has made this book a great reference."

"My knowledge of the Chinese language is virtually zero (took a lesson before but gave up after just a few weeks.) After reading (half of) the book, I installed the Google toolbar and Lingo's program (recommended in the book) and used them to read translated articles from the web, and I was able to easily read most of the contents. These programs even translate the texts on the buttons (sometimes) so I know what to press!
This book really presents a new way to read and understand foreign text. I think it is a little known method (never heard of such thing - but maybe it's just me) and it truly deserves more attention. I wish I knew about this earlier while I was still learning the Chinese. Even now I am considering picking up Chinese again, since there are there many tools which make it much easier."
