New: Flying Daggers — Practice Chinese Characters Type pinyin and throw daggers — get it right and watch the character explode! A faster, more fun way to review vocabulary. Play with the words you’re already learning: words from your Notebook, recently looked-up words, or HSK/TOCFL vocabulary. Clear stages to progress through the game, or choose 60 Seconds when you only have a minute. Turn off pinyin hints for an extra challenge. Build longer correct streaks, sharpen your daggers, climb the weekly leaderboard, and come back to beat your best score. Play from the Home screen, Notebook, or right after finishing a review session.

Blanks in HSK tests now stand out as a blue box, with pinyin hints when you need to write characters. Long section titles scroll so you can read them in full. Smoother, more stable practice tests and lookups.

WHAT'S NEW • Nicer to listen to: words and sentences without a recording are now read in Hanzii's own voices. • Missed a day? Use a freeze card to keep your streak. • Chinese–English tab: the speaker plays the sentence you picked, and pinyin looks right again. • More reliable study reminders: they work on devices set to AM/PM, and only arrive within the hours you chose. • Scanning vertical Chinese comics: the translation reads as full sentences, one speech bubble at a time.

Faster, smarter translation! We've upgraded our translation technology and added the new Flash Model for VIP users, delivering faster, smoother, and more accurate translations in more situations. This update also includes performance improvements and minor bug fixes to make Hanzii more stable every day. Update now and enjoy the experience!

Hanzii rolled up its sleeves and tidied up a whole bunch of things so you can learn the easy way and still look cool: – Photo translation gets a new way to pick text: just swipe your finger across the words to "highlight" exactly what you need — no more tapping character by character. Scanning is faster and smoother too. – Japanese and Chinese finally made peace: translating Japanese to Chinese now shows proper Chinese pinyin instead of wandering off into Japanese romaji. – Traditional and Japanese-style characters get fair treatment: the right word shows up and zhuyin displays correctly, with no more mysterious stray symbols. – AI lessons listen better: conversations, tips and sample sentences now respect the phonetic style you picked. – TOCFL mock tests: flip between traditional and simplified and the test updates right away — no guessing. – Pronunciation practice, no more false accusations: say a correct homophone and it counts as correct. – Log out with peace of mind: your notebook is safely synced to the server before anything is cleared from your device, so nothing goes missing. And if the network gets moody, the app won't kick you out for no reason. – Plus a pile of little touch-ups to make everything neater and smoother. Thanks for learning with Hanzii. If it's your cup of tea, drop us 5 stars to cheer us on!
