Read printed Chinese with pinyin above each character. Photograph a page, highlight the words you want to read, and tap a word for a short English meaning. All features are free, with no ads or account. FROM PRINT TO PINYIN Take a photo or choose one from your library. Swipe across a line like a highlighter pen. Your selection appears in a separate reading panel, with tone-marked pinyin above the Chinese characters. Use it with homework worksheets, textbooks, storybooks, menus or signs. Pinch with two fingers to zoom in on small print. Undo and redo let you move between selections on the same photo. FOR READERS WHO KNOW SOME PINYIN HanziCamera helps children and other Mandarin learners who understand more Chinese than they can read. The characters stay visible alongside the pinyin, so you can practise reading the Chinese itself. Tap a word when you need its English meaning. SIMPLIFIED AND TRADITIONAL PRINTED CHINESE Read both scripts with Mandarin pinyin based on mainland Chinese readings. The interface is available in English and Simplified Chinese. Word meanings are in English. WHEN A WORD HAS MORE THAN ONE READING Readings use word context where possible. If the reading is uncertain, the panel indicates alternatives; tap to see the available dictionary readings and meanings. Unrecognised characters may have no reading. Handwriting is not supported, and blurred photos can reduce accuracy.
