As back as during the PC-era, we started to meet this urgent need by promoting information accessibility technologies, and more features of QQ at the mobile end were optimized, such as OCR text recognition, QQ emoticon translation, security payment, adding contacts through Voiceprint Recognition and image interpretation. These features provide indispensable support for their daily life.
