Any Book, Any Level
Turn any Chinese book into an interactive tutor.
Snap a photo of any Chinese storybook or import a PDF. Hanzi Reader (汉字伴读) highlights every character right on the page so you or your child can toggle Pinyin, listen to natural AI read-aloud, practice stroke order, and review vocabulary cards.
Your bookshelf is now your Chinese curriculum.
No rigid lessons to unlock. Whether it is a bedtime picture book, a heritage school textbook, or a graded reader PDF, Hanzi Reader (汉字伴读) adapts to what you are reading today.
Snap a Page or Import PDF
Point your camera at any printed Chinese book page, import a PDF, or start with our preloaded StoryWeaver picture books. On-device Vision OCR detects every character in seconds.
Tap Characters Right on the Page
Toggle Pinyin ruby annotations above the page, press Read for natural AI narration, or tap any highlighted character to practice stroke order in the Rice Grid and explore Tang poems.
Level Up with Smart Review
Tap "I Learned This!" as you master new characters. Play "Play & Find" mini games and Ebbinghaus spaced-repetition quizzes to grow from Seedling to Master.
Designed around how children and heritage learners actually read.
Instant New vs. Known character cards for every page
Switch between the Grid of flashcards and AI-proofread Text sentences. New characters stand out with a warm NEW badge while learned characters automatically turn sky-blue across every future book you scan.
Connect characters to classical Tang & Song poetry
Every character links to an authentic classical poem card with line-by-line Pinyin, tap-to-speak recitation, and English literary explanation.
Simplified, Traditional, Pinyin & Zhuyin
Choose Simplified (简体字) or Traditional (繁體字) books and switch between Pinyin (pīnyīn) and Bopomofo Zhuyin (ㄅㄆㄇ) for each profile.
