食物词典:Picture dictionary of Chinese food

Peter

榜眼
Online version: https://rouseabout.github.io/shiwucidian/

I intend to make this into a Pleco 4 dictionary when it is released.

The dictionary was built from ~1200 online menus, so the food selection is biased towards waimai. Also there are plenty of non-chinese/western items in the dictionary.

With the move to qr-code menus in restaurants, this resource is not as useful as it once might have been.

Comments welcome.

Hello Peter,

Thank you very much, I like it. Very efficiently programmed. Often you still want a fast offline resource, so I'd say this absolutely fills a need.

Perhaps a link to Google/Baidu Image Search for that food item would be nice to have at the end of each dictionary entry? That would make even deeper research reachable with a single tap, and give you a lot more pictures.

I checked if the opposite already exists somewhere, i.e. some specialized AI app/web page that recognizes any kind of (Chinese) food item from its image. There are some, but they aren't free to use or universally accessible.

Cheers, Shun
