Learning Mandarin

China is well known now for the economic growth and opportunities. It is the largest growing market. Sales are growing tremendously. We are expanding into China. More and more documents are coming into my mail box in Chinese. Reading Chinese requires tremendous effort for me. So I decided to cheat. I look for a software that can "read" Chinese and translate Chinese to English and vice versa. I will see how much this software can help. I usually understand if the words were spoken. To read Chinese is as good as asking me to drink poison. This software can convert characters into hanyi pinyin as well as verbalise the words like reading. I hope with this, I can be more proficient in handling Chinese language.
