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 ad-free paid 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
+ Works fully offline and very fast
+ Clipboard monitoring: any copied text containing Chinese characters is automatically annotated in the notification area
+ Paste the text or use "Share" from another app to annotate with Pinyin
+ Edit the original 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
+ Zoom in/out, configure the color, pinyin style
+ One great short story is included (to realize that reading Chinese is actually easy and fun!)

Ratings and Reviews

Rating: 4.7/5 based on 3+ reviews

5 ★ Good companion for learning Mandarin

4 ★ can i edit words? or combine two character?

5 ★ Good app

5 ★ Excellent

4 ★ My level is somewhere in between 3-4 HSK with characters holding me back as I live here in China. This allows me to quickly read WeChat texts (or wherever) within the app when I'm blanking on one or a few. Makes my response time that much quicker n it teachers me new characters effortlessly.

3 ★ This app can be a helpful tool. I'd add like an option to hear an audio of the word or picture reading capabilities full translations like other apps have etc. But it's only for individual character recognition

4 ★ I just download this app. I think its great. I try it first. But If you have any option that can change the position of the pin yin under the Chinese letter, I think it would be wonderful. Thank you

4 ★ Your app is works great, but it needs little improvement in definitions, maybe you should look up to pleco for definition

2 ★ There are many homonym error. For example 撒 (Sā or Sǎ )

5 ★ This app is brilliant, reading Chinese has become easy for me

5 ★ Very useful app, i was looking for something like this.

5 ★ JUST WHAT I NEED!!!❤❤

5 ★ Straightforward and easy to use... Forget the characters and grab the pinyin.

5 ★ Perfect

5 ★ awesome
