Read Chinese with ease!
Features Pinyiner
Reading Chinese is extremely important, if you live in a Chinese speaking country, plus its the best way to learn the language.
But reading raw characters has always been difficult.
Pinyiner makes it easy.
It breaks the characters into words, shows Pinyin above and displays the English meaning if you click on a word.
Just copy&paste some text, "Share" it from another app or open a file.Perfect for reading messages from your friends, Chinese texts on the Web and even whole books.
You can also use it as a Simplified/Traditional converter.
Check out the ad-free paid version!Note: on Android Oreo the Clipboard monitoring might not always work because of the "Battery optimization".
In this case, go to Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> Advanced-> Special app access -> Battery optimization -> Select "All apps" at the top -> find Pinyiner, click on it and select "Dont optimize" -> Done.FEATURES+ Works fully offline and very fast+ Clipboard monitoring: any copied text containing Chinese characters is automatically annotated in the notification area+ Paste the text or use "Share" from another app to annotate with Pinyin+ Edit the original text+ Convert between Simplified and Traditional characters+ Open and annotate text files, even large books (UTF-8 encoded)+ Save text and its Pinyin into a file.

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"Super great app! Helps me slowly practicing reading Chinese novels"
Emily Zhu
"Previously I gave this great app 5 stars, but now that I upgraded my tablet to Mi Pad 5 (Android 11, MIUI 13) neither Clipboard Monitoring nor saving the file work. Clipboard Monitoring issue may be because of the system, because other apps also have issues with that despite receiving proper permissions, but I'd be thrilled if the dev could fix the saving file error: /storage/emulated/0/Pinyiner/1.txt: open failed: EPERM (Operation not permitted) I use Pinyiner daily, so please, help!"

"I don't know if it's just me or something. I can't find any txt files on my device through this app anymore although clearly they are there. It used to be my companion when reading Chinese txts. Pls try to fix it if it's a bug. And thank u for your amazing app. It was a delight. (My phone software is Android 11.)"
