WeChat 5.0 Update Out - What's New?

Game Center: With about 11 game titles in the offering, WeChat is expecting to generate some revenue. Of course, this revenue would come directly from the newly introduced payment service, called 'WeChat Payment' that will collect money from the users. You will be able to associate your bank accounts with your account. There's a new built-in scanner that can read and recognize books, CDs and other goods. The scanner can recognize English / Chinese words and perform translations on the go.
Much awaited voice-to-text capability has been added. At present the technology only supports Mandarin and the makers of the app claim that they've developed the technology completely in-house. Those who love to add graphics in their messages may take a look at the new emoticon market. Paid emoticons will be made available for about a US dollar each.
Do share your thoughts about the new WeChat once you get the update in your country.
