Does it have handwriting option? For instance, if I don't know the pinyin, can I write the character to translate?

Yes, it has the handwriting option. You can write the chinese character to translate by selecting the input method.

yes, but using the touch screen on the phone,however i have not used free hand writing because the phone has an on screen key board, other language input can be used on this key board, but this will depend on the key board design program when other words or number formats are allowed or not, therefore you can change the language settings inputs. that handwriting is not anymore in fashion but you can still use it with this phone, check with artist the type of application they use for handwriting and down load, may be an option too, since they seem to use it

If you want to read and write (and you do), you need comfort with the alphabets. Romanized versions are, in my opinion, a disservice. My wife read many children's books in Hiragana after mastering the basics.

I'm not sure but I think it displays Japanese. I have some songs that have titles in Japanese and I'm pretty sure I've never seen the blocks instead of the characters and I'm also pretty sure that if it can do Japanese, it can do Chinese.

I don't know about Chinese. I bought it for my son who is studying Arabic. It does work well for the Arabic characters if you happen to know how they compare to what you need!

Pen and software are included. The DigiMemo will digitize anything written, but if you want the Chinese to be available for Word, Outlook, or Lotus notes, then you would need optional software.

No, but if you find a useful phrase ( and there are many) it will speak the translated phrase for you. Google translate lets you type or speak and then translates with text and/or speech.

It has handwriting recognition. A stylus will work, but there is not one attached.

There is a feature that you can input kanji but the meaning is in Japanese character. I still haven't use this device because I didn't know how to read it.

Hi, this is Gary Davis. I also received one of these---sort of cool! Anyway, you should be able to open the instruction completely as one long page. The English version is included on the reverse side. If this doesn't do it, let me know through Amazon, and I will email you a copy. Just need your email address if English is not on back (rem: You need to unfold completely to get English on one side and Chinese on the other). Hope I hve helped. Gary

I don't write in Chinese so I don't know if it fits. I do write in the Devanagari script (for Nepali, and Hindi languages) and it works fine for that purpose.

The Lightscribe captures your notes as an image, so, yes, it'll capture Chinese characters as well as any language. To translate your Lightscribe notes to text, you can use MyScript for Lightscribe - see http://www.visionobjects.com/ . It's an extra-cost option, available for Windows and Mac OSX and costs a reasonable $30. There is a 30-day nagware free trial. MyScript supports a number of languages including Chinese. In English, the recognition is so good, it's almost spooky.

I do not know about switching to Chinese, but I use Cntrl + ~ to switch between English and Japanese. I hope that helps.
