(More customer reviews)I ordered the Besta MT-7000 from Amazon.com (ace photo digital). It was delivered on time, in 100% working order, and with a full one year warranty certificate included in the package.
After just a few days of using the BESTA MT-7000, I'm convinced this touch screen electronic Chinese(Mandarin)/English device is one of the best on the market. Owning this device is like having my own personal Chinese tutor, except better. I can take it everywhere I go and it fits in my back pocket.
This will definately make your life easier if you speak English and plan to visit China. In fact, I would highly recommend putting the BESTA MT-7000 on the top of your list of items to take with you on a trip to China.
It is easy to use. The touch screen works perfect. The sound quality is crystal clear. While wearing the included earpiece it feels as if the English/Mandarin speaking voice is sitting next to me in a quiet room. It has every imaginable feature on it to help an English speaking person learn to read, write, and speak Chinese. It uses the PINYIN method of teaching Chinese.
The list of features of this device are too long for me to write about here but here are the top 3 features I like best:
#1-If you see a Chinese character or characters and would like to have it's meaning translated into English, you can simply draw the character(s) on the touch screen, and it will recognize the character(s) and give you it's definition in English, PINYIN, and Chinese. It also gives you several sentences in English, PINYIN, and Chinese using that particular character(s) to help give you an even better understanding of the character (It also pronounces those full sentences for you syllable by syllable). It pronounces each and every character for you (The head and shoulders of a Chinese lady comes onto the screen and does the pronouncing so you can watch her mouth movements) On top of that, it shows you how to correctly draw all of the characters, stroke by stroke, while pronouncing the names of the strokes used. It's just one of the many impressive and invaluable features of the BESTA MT-7000.
#2- Is the application to help you learn, and correctly pronounce all of the PINYIN Initials, Finals, and the combinations of the two, along with all of the correct tones. A small box comes onto the bottom right of the screen that shows the bottom half of a Chinese woman's face clearly, and correctly pronouncing the PINYIN Initials and Finals. It is crystal clear with the earpiece and you can watch her mouth movements as well. You can even talk into the device and it will tell you how you did in pronouncing the PINYIN by grading you from 1-100% correct.
#3-Is the MP3 player. It's very easy to download your MP3's into this device and the sound quality is outstanding when using the included earpiece. You can even download your favorite videos and pictures into this and probably anything else you have stored on a memory card or your computer (You can insert a memory card into this device or use the included cable to download directly from you computer).
Note: Before I purchased this device I was learning Chinese from podcasts I downloaded from online plus various other information I found online. I was easily able to download those podcasts and other information onto the BESTA MT-7000. So, if there is something you can't find on this device, or features you wish it had, you can more than likely add it yourself or add it with the help of someone from their customer service department.
If you have questions on what you can or cannot add, or any other questions, I'd suggest contacting their customer service department. I called them once before I bought this device and they were friendly and helpful in answering my questions.
