Redpunk 1st Jun 2016		Wow that's great work, I'm pretty certain my efforts could not have ever achieved this result. I've just added another one 34442



xiphophilos 31st May 2016		The problem with all the Chinese handwriting recognition tools is that it is seems really important that you draw your strokes in the right order and direction. I had to combine two different sites to finally get it right: http://www.chinese-tools.com/tools/mouse.html gave me the best recognition of my doodles. http://translate.naver.com/#/en/zh-TW: This site let me enter the English for individual letters that looked similar to those on the record so that I could translate that into perfect Chinese characters, copy and paste these then here http://ce.linedict.com/dict.html#/cnen/entry/, and this helped me to learn the stroke direction for parts of the characters, so I could try to draw the actual characters on the record again into http://www.chinese-tools.com/tools/mouse.html and have my drawings recognized correctly. Don't ask me how much time this took... This is the result (note: writing direction seems to be left to right nowadays; on the record, it's right to left): 陳玉梅女士 Miss Chen Yumei (女 = woman, 女士 = lady or Miss). Apparently, Chen Yumei (1910-1985) was a big movie star in the 1930s. Here are some pictures of her: http://oldfish60.blog.163.com/blog/static/77572515201111181331620/. The song title is 花弄影 which translates as "A Flower Playing with its Shadow" (source). Chen Yumei sang this song in the 1932 movie "芸兰姑娘" (A Girl Named Yunlan [=Orchid?]). The same record is offered here: http://www.7788wgyp.com/a190/9805677/ and here: http://www.7788disc.com/s190/32377460/ An even more popular song by Chen Yumei, "燕雙飛" (Two Flying Swallows), was on the A side of Pathé 34267, which was released in 1932. I assume that's the release year of your record too.



Redpunk 31st May 2016		Thanks for the tip, had a go could not seem to produce anything like the characters on the disc. Could just be my poor drawing skills.



Jock_Girl 27th May 2016		You may wish to try a feature in google translate which for Chinese characters allows you to draw the characters using your mouse



Redpunk 27th May 2016		Need some help with this one as the Chinese characters have defeated me.
