About this app

Just say the character out loud and watch it write itself. Chinese Stroke Order animates the correct stroke order of any Chinese character, so you learn to write hanzi the right way - one stroke at a time.

Type a character, type its pinyin, or simply speak it. The built-in voice search understands natural language and sorts out pinyin homophones for you - say "the da in daren" or describe the character you mean, and it finds the right hanzi instead of a wall of look-alikes. It is the fastest way to look up how to write a Chinese character when you don't know how to type it.
