However, there are many kinds of dictionary pens on the market, and some unprofessional brands may "mislead children". Therefore, when we choose, we must choose reliable big brands, brands and professional technical support, and we can help students learn from a professional perspective. For example, the popular Alpha Egg T 10 and Youdao X3S dictionary pen are both very good and have their own characteristics. Let's see which one is more suitable for your children.
Alpha Egg T 10 is a dictionary pen suitable for junior high school and graduate students. It not only has the basic scanning function, but also can preach and teach. The built-in AI bilingual teacher can explain in depth whether it is English listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating, or Chinese obscure ancient poems.
There is X3S, which can be used as a learning tool for children's enlightenment, and is also suitable for those who take the postgraduate entrance examination, take the TOEFL test, take the IELTS party and learn English. It also has the basic scanning function, as well as the functions of reading books and modifying oral calculations.
So are these functions easy to use and how do they perform? Let's have a look!
The first is their basic function, which is the scanning function.
Let's take a look at their thesaurus resources:
Alpha Egg T 10 contains 6 million Chinese and English words, covering more than 20 reference books such as Xinhua Dictionary, Oxford Advanced English-Chinese Learning Dictionary (9th Edition), Modern Chinese Standard Dictionary and Chinese Idiom Dictionary. It covers all primary schools and universities, and it can be searched directly without connecting to the Internet.
There is a dictionary pen X3S with 5.44 million Chinese and English words, including TOEFL dictionary and IELTS dictionary. , you can find it without networking.
Let's take a look at their query speed and recognition accuracy:
When scanning, whether English words are still Chinese words, Alpha Egg T 10 has a fast recognition speed, and the results can be obtained immediately after scanning, and the content analysis is in place, and the knowledge points are comprehensive. It will follow the word three times synchronously, showing examples of spelling translation, etc. The X3S has a fast recognition speed, but there is some delay in following the car. In terms of recognition accuracy, both of them are very good, almost the same.
It seems that the basic scanning functions of these two characters are neck and neck. In addition, the two kinds of dictionary pens also subdivide English learning, and both have the functions of grammar explanation, listening practice, oral practice and composition correction. In terms of language, they provide corresponding guidance for the analysis of ancient poems and idioms. Let's take another look.
English grammar explanation:
When scanning English sentences, Alpha Egg T 10 will use proprietary AI technology to give sentence analysis, including tense, composition, usage and so on. To learn more clearly; However, some X3S scanning sentences will be translated accordingly, without detailed explanation. If you are a friend who needs to learn grammar, this part should be dedicated to looking up information.
English listening practice:
Alpha Egg T 10 contains more than 140 theme resources, which can be repeated at will, the speech speed can be adjusted at will, and the ten-level transformation remains unchanged. It is also subdivided into three modules: repetition, follow-up and weak practice, which is equivalent to a repeater+rich listening resources.
There is a saying that X3S has 28 characteristic resources. Chinese and English subtitles can be switched freely, and can be played circularly, AB segment and so on. Moreover, the teaching materials are synchronized, and there are English materials in primary school, junior high school and senior high school, so that you can learn English with the tutorial, which is more targeted.

Built-in homologous technology of computer-aided marking system for middle and high school entrance examination can respond quickly through online internet, give standard answers and evaluate them. The revision is divided into three parts: suggested revision (marked in red), article highlights (marked in green) and article evaluation. In this way, the quality of the composition will be clear at a glance.
There is a saying that X3S will first classify the difficulty of the composition according to the grade, and then correct it, which is quite intimate. Correcting is also divided into three parts: grammatical errors, vocabulary recommendation and composition grading.
This English composition correction is quite practical. After all, composition accounts for a large proportion. Usually, teachers are not good at correcting students' compositions one by one, so that students themselves don't know where they are wrong. With this function, students' confusion can be solved to some extent, and the paper grade can be improved.
But in this part of writing, in fact, the score of dictionary pen can only be used as a simple reference. After all, different places, different teaching versions, different teachers have different teaching systems, and the writing and standards of compositions are different. So the score is slightly limited. It is suggested that when you use dictionary pens, you should pay more attention to the correction of grammar, writing and other errors, as well as the accumulation of advantages and highlights, which will help improve your writing ability.
Analysis of China's ancient poems and idioms:
Alpha egg T 10 contains key Chinese texts in junior and senior high schools. You can choose the articles you want to learn according to the situation, including not only ancient poems but also modern articles.

There is a saying that X3S has no Chinese material configuration in this respect, but it can also be used to learn idioms and classical Chinese vocabulary that you don't understand. If it is a basic scanning comprehension, it will be enough.
The next step is their respective characteristics and functions.
The characteristic functions of T 10 are "memorizing words" and "reporting dictation", both of which are very practical!
Reciting words and dictation are essential parts for students to learn Chinese and English, but these two tasks require self-discipline and are also very boring tasks, which require students' self-discipline and parental supervision. Obviously, today's primary and secondary schools still need exercise. In this respect, these two functions of T 10 solve the big troubles of parents and students in time.
There is a saying that X3S's characteristic functions are "oral arithmetic correction" and "reading and reading", which is more suitable for junior students.
"Dictation correction function can help to correct the math homework of junior students; The "reading" function can help children read related books directly, which is much more convenient than scanning, but it also needs to buy related books and is more entertaining.
