How to Use
Search any way you want
Tap the search bar at the top. By default it searches in all modes — Chinese characters, pinyin, and English. Use the icons below the search bar to switch to handwriting, voice, or camera OCR input.
Use handwriting input
Tap the pen icon to open the handwriting canvas. Draw the character stroke by stroke. The app uses Google ML Kit to recognize your strokes and shows character suggestions at the bottom — tap one to search.
Explore a word entry
Tap any result to open the word detail page. You'll see the character, pinyin, definition, and an audio button to hear the pronunciation. Swipe through the tabs to see related words (Words) and example sentences (Examples).
Save words to a list
Tap the + button next to any search result or on the word detail page to add it to a word list. Go to Home → Word Lists to create and manage your lists.
Practice your vocabulary
Go to Home → Practice and choose a source (HSK level or one of your custom lists). Pick a mode: Flashcards, Multiple Choice, or Listening. Set up daily reminders in Settings → Notifications.
