About this app

Can you write the characters you know?

Most learners can read far more Chinese than they can write. Hanzee closes that gap. It's the best way to learn to write Chinese characters and remember them for good, and we're sure of it

Flashcards are the proven way to build vocabulary in any language. Hanzee takes them one step further: flick through your cards and test yourself, tap to check the answer, then write the same words from memory, stroke by stroke, with every stroke checked as you go

No notebook, no pen, no desk needed. Five minutes on the bus, a coffee break, the evening sofa: your Chinese practice is always within reach

FLASHCARDS THAT MAKE YOU WRITE
• Swipe through your cards and test your memory; tap a card to see the answer
• Writing mode: write each word from memory and see straight away if you got it right
• Learn both ways: English first, or Chinese first
• Flag the hard ones, and they come first next time
• Build decks from any word in the dictionary, shuffle and pick up where you left off

WRITE, DON'T JUST RECOGNISE
• Every stroke checked as you draw: the right stroke, in the right order, in the right direction
• Stroke order animations you can replay any time
• Stuck? After three misses you get a hint to trace over
• The classic 田字格 grid used in Chinese classrooms

SCAN ANY CHINESE TEXT
• Point your camera at a textbook, a menu or a sign, or pick a photo from your gallery
• Crop to the text and see every word in it, with pinyin and meaning
• Turn the whole page into a flashcard deck with one tap, then practise writing it
• Text recognition runs on your device: nothing is uploaded

EVERY WORD FOR THE NEW HSK 3.0
• Official word lists for HSK levels 1 to 5, in the order of the syllabus
• Turn a whole level into a flashcard deck with one tap, already sorted into topics
• Filter the dictionary by HSK level and see only the words your exam requires
