HanziTranslator

Read Chinese. Understand it. Speak it.

HanziTranslator is a modern Chinese reading and translation app designed to make Chinese characters easier to understand — whether you are studying, travelling, reading a menu, or simply curious about the text in front of you.

Point your camera at Chinese characters and see their pronunciation appear directly over the text. Or type and paste Chinese into the translator to instantly get Pinyin and a translation.

Live Pinyin Camera

Turn your iPhone into a Chinese reading assistant.

Point the camera at Chinese text and HanziTranslator recognizes the characters in real time and displays their Pinyin pronunciation directly over them.

Perfect for:

signs menus books packaging worksheets handwritten notes everyday Chinese text

Translation is optional, so you can keep the camera focused purely on Hanzi → Pinyin when you just want help reading.
