Tone Canvas vs Chengyu Calendar

Features: • Type or paste Chinese text • Dictate Mandarin into editable text • Visualize tones as connected Hanzi waves • Switch between text and tone structure • Create clean typographic compositions • Designed for learners, teachers, designers, and language lovers Chinese tones are not just marks above pinyin. They are rhythm, movement, and shape.
