About this app

Tomeu is an interactive Chinese reader designed to turn Mandarin Chinese reading into an active study workflow without forcing you to switch between separate reader or video player, Chinese dictionary, and flashcard apps.

Read Chinese books, web novels, YouTube videos, subtitles, and study materials while building vocabulary naturally through immersion and Mandarin learning.

• Immersive Reading Experience
Access and read your local offline files. Tomeu provides direct file system access to read your EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW, TXT, HTML, DOCX, and SRT files. Customize the reader with your preferred typography and themes for comfortable long-form Chinese reading.

• Dual Subtitle Video Player
Add a YouTube video by link or load your local video files and attach primary SRT and secondary SRT files stored across your directories to view them in our specialized interactive video player with convenient subtitle controls and smart tap dictionary for Chinese immersion, Mandarin study, and language learning. For instance, you can attach Chinese subtitle as the primary subtitle and English subtitle (or your own language) for the secondary subtitle.

• Chinese Subtitles Generator
If your video doesn't have subtitles, you can also generate Chinese subtitles using offline local AI speech recognition.

• Instant Dictionary Lookup
Built-in Chinese dictionary support keeps you focused on reading Chinese content. Tap any Chinese word to instantly see dictionary information, including pinyin, definition, and HSK level. Smart phrase detection automatically determines which characters belong together as a word.

• Mining Words and Sentences / Vocabulary Builder
Select a word and save it to your Vocab List with sentence context automatically included. Mined content will be highlighted in the source document, helping you build Chinese vocabulary from real content.

• Built-in Flashcards & Spaced Repetition System
Review your Vocab List using flashcards with our spaced repetition scheduler. Perfect for growing your Mandarin vocabulary over time.

• Voice
Text-to-speech to learn pronunciation in Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese.

• Deck Exporter
You can export your Vocab List to Hanzi Deck .json file, or to Anki as .apkg file.

• Backup & Restore
Create local backups of your reading progress and vocabulary learning data and restore them whenever needed.

Read real Chinese content without the constant stop-and-go of looking things up. Save new words as you go and keep your focus on the story while you learn Chinese.

Tomeu combines a Chinese reader, EPUB reader and other e-book formats, Chinese dictionary, vocabulary builder, subtitle learning tool, and spaced repetition system in a single app.
