Description

Reading Chinese is extremely important, if you live in a Chinese speaking country, plus it's the best way to learn the language. But reading raw characters has always been difficult. Pinyiner makes it easy. It breaks the characters into words, shows Pinyin above and displays the English meaning if you click on a word. Just copy&paste some text, "Share" it from another app or open a file.
Perfect for reading messages from your friends, Chinese texts on the Web and even whole books. You can also use it as a Simplified/Traditional converter.
Check out the FREE version!

Note: on Android Oreo the Clipboard monitoring might not always work because of the "Battery optimization". In this case, go to Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> Advanced-> Special app access -> Battery optimization -> Select "All apps" at the top -> find Pinyiner, click on it and select "Don't optimize" -> Done.

FEATURES
+ No ads
+ Clipboard monitoring: any copied text containing Chinese characters is automatically annotated in the notification area
+ Works fully offline and very fast
+ Paste the text or use "Share" in another app to annotate with Pinyin
+ Edit the text
+ Convert between Simplified and Traditional characters
+ Open and annotate text files, even large books (UTF-8 encoded)
+ Save text and its Pinyin into a file. If saving both, you can read the resulting TSV file with e.g. MS Excel (Data->From text->Delimited->Tab)
+ Mark interesting words and export them to Pleco / Anki / AnkiDroid Flashcards for effective learning
+ Add bookmarks to the text
+ Integrates with other dictionaries: GoldenDict, ColorDict, Pleco, Hanping, etc
+ Rearrange how the characters are grouped into words
+ Pinch-zoom in/out, configure color, pinyin style
+ One great short story is included (to realize that reading Chinese is actually easy and fun!)

5 ★ Only one suggestion: When I use Pleco, it's possible to use volume buttons to scroll through text (in clip reader). It's very convenient. Please integrate it to Pinyiner! 😇 Wonderful app. 谢谢

5 ★ tried free version for 5 mins then decided to buy regular one. this is exactly what i'm looking for to help me read Chinese. keep updating n improving ur app. Plz add ability to clear recent files. thx

5 ★ This app is great. I support you by buying the pro one. Hope someday you can give more options, maybe like change the pin yin position to below the Chinese character and can share out the file. Thank you. Hope you success.

4 ★ I hope that it will have more features added... Like keeping the overlay dialog up for longer ... I bought it it seems useful enough... Giving it 5 stars because only 100 downloads!!? Pleco is worth the 30bucks for the screen reader and flashcards alone... bit there is still room for other apps.

4 ★ Useful, would be great if could change the size of the Chinese characters and not just the Pinyin. Zhuyin would also be a great addition for those who are not from a Pinyin background.

5 ★ Simple but usefull. Thank you Pinyiner

5 ★ Yeah, like most people the only issue is the back scrolling that happens with text that is too long. Not much of a problem but if it could be fixed then this app would be perfect!

5 ★ Hi Can You Please Add Listening Support For A Particular Word. There Are Many Free Resources You Can Take Some Database Or API Stuff From Google ETC. It Will Be Great. Thanks.

3 ★ App has text scrolling bug with longer texts, occurs when scrolling slowly when reading. Bug will cause text to scroll back several pages.
