BEIJING, Dec. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Harnessing innovative technologies to enhance learning in an increasingly digital age

Youdao, Inc. ("Youdao" or the "Company") (NYSE: DAO), a leading intelligent

learning company in China, announces the launch of the latest generation of its

dictionary pen series - Youdao Dictionary Pen 3.

The 3rd generation Youdao Dictionary Pen was unveiled at a product launch event

on December 1, 2020 in Beijing, China. This new intelligent translator uses the

Company's most innovative technologies to bring two groundbreaking experiences

to customers – the "Tap and Check" function and the "Interactive Reading" function.

The "Tap and Check" function, developed through Youdao's homegrown

super-sensing optical system, allows users to search for a translation instantly

with just one tap. The feature significantly enhances user experience, boosting

speed and efficiency for customers searching for words and translations.

The "Interactive Reading" function brings a brand-new three-dimensional feel to

users and was developed keeping Youdao's younger customers in mind. This

exciting new function allows visual interactions through point-reading for

picture books for the first time.

"We are excited to launch the latest generation of our Dictionary Pen as its

two enhanced features promise to give users a totally new experience," said Dr.

Feng Zhou, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Youdao. "We have once again

leveraged our cutting-edge technology to redefine traditional learning devices.

Our extensive expertise in AI technology, learning content and hardware design,

alongside our brand recognition, cements our position at the forefront of

innovation in the intelligent learning devices space."

"Our goal is to ensure users make the most of the time they spend using our

devices, and we are confident that we offer them a better, more comprehensive

experience with every product launch," Dr. Zhou added. "We remain committed to

bringing high quality and state-of-the-art products and services to our growing

customer base to propel our long-term growth."
