Audio Uploads - Want to check your pronunciation? Curious about a certain region's accent? Need some handy phrases for your upcoming trip? Just record your questions and ask: let the world hear you!

You can receive corrections to your messages with friends, work emails, journal entries, speeches, etc.
Search Function - Use the search function to find questions containing your search word and have the word translated by Google Translate at the same time.
Instantly search through the 14,000,000 (and counting) questions posted on HiNative to find the answer you are looking for.
Pictures - Not sure how to write something? No problem! It's easier to ask some questions by posting a picture: signs, menus, labels, and even that rad Chinese character you're considering getting a tattoo of--just snap a picture and ask away.
Unlike a dictionary or web search, HiNative gives you customized example sentences, responses to your follow-up questions, and tips to improve your pronunciation. With HiNative, you also get access to the best resource for language learning: native speakers. And as a native speaker yourself, you can help out too!
HiNative supports over 110 languages, bringing the entire world to your fingertips. It's never been this easy to connect, help, and learn.

What's New in HiNative
21.37.0
December 16, 2024
Hi everyone!
We’ve just finished version 21.37.0!
We hope it will help you with your language studies.
We've fixed some minor problems and updated features.
We hope you continue to enjoy using HiNative!
I used to love this app. Even before searching a dictionary, I would come here and search my question to see if someone has already asked it. Especially when searching for differences between words, who can explain it better than a native? But then there came the AI. I understand the business-wise importance of AI but AI messed up the app. Now I can’t even search among asked questions and I have to ask AI first? And AI doesn’t even gives me a correct answer. I wish at least I could change the AI language to English not my native language so maybe I get a more solid answer. After not using this app for months, I still feel the need for the old HiNative, that’s why I’m writing this. Give me my search bar back :(( Thank you.

Response from developer
Thank you for this feedback. HiNative aims to be “a platform where you can obtain answers from both AI and native speakers.” through those features. The HiNative Web browser version still have the search function. We will keep everyone's comments and opinions in mind as we continue development.
