Description

The ultimate solution for quickly looking up Chinese words on your smartphone or tablet, no matter what app (or system screens) you are using.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This app is for reading standard text in apps and websites, not for stylized text in images (e.g. Manhua)

The world's first app (on any platform) to combine in-app screen capture with OCR technology.

If you're not satisfied, for any reason, within 30 days you get a full refund, period, no questions asked. We don't want your money if you're not amazingly happy. Simply send us an email.

If you experience any issues (for example, device-specific issues we may not yet be aware of) please send us an email.

When the app is running, there is an always-present "handle" floating over your screen. When you want to look up a Chinese word, place the handle next to the word, and you will see a popup containing the dictionary definition. You can also play the audio, copy to clipboard, add to you starred lists or simply jump to the definition in our dictionary app.

Please note: this app uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology so not always will every character be correctly recognised. However, in supported scenarios you should get at least 99% accuracy.

Works with regular lines of text and most text in images. Not suited for stylised text or text on complex/patterned backgrounds.

A persistent notification allows you to easily hide/show the handle. When the handle is hidden, the status bar icon is also hidden to keep your status bar clean! You can optionally show the notification at device startup and also control hiding/showing the notification from the main app screen.

This works with our Mandarin (free and paid) and Cantonese (paid) dictionary apps.

Typical usage scenarios:

* Instant messaging (e.g. WeChat, Line, Messenger)
* Websites
* Apps only localised to Chinese (so buttons etc are not in your language)
* Photos containing regular text (e.g most menus)
* Maps
* System language is Chinese but is not your native language (great way of learning Chinese!)

Please note: this app does not support vertical text, although we will probably add this in a future update.

Characters supported: 6703 (Simplified), 5401 (Traditional) covering a total 8972 unique characters

Recognition accuracy: 99.5% (Simplified), 98.7% (Traditional) based on various scanned books and newspapers

Important note: If you are using a "lux" app (e.g. Lux Lite, Twilight or 藍色光濾波器) to control the screen colors, this may prevent you from clicking the confirmation button to start screen recording. In this case, you would need to turn off (or uninstall) that "lux" app.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

4 ★Edit: 5 star reduce to 4 stars. Recognition engine really out of date. In this era of AI ocr this poorly compares as clunky and picky having to maneuver the cursor to recognize words. And if target text isn't clear black block character on white background, you are out of luck. 2016: I think this will be useful. I also request ability to ocr chars on left edge and longer passages, like with camera app. Or integrate camera app, such i can take a screenshot and lauch camera app with the screenshot
5 ★Would you help to create it for ios version.. It is very good apps... I beg you please 🙏🙏
5 ★Funktioniert gut! Man muss aber ein wenig mit Schriftgröße und Ansatzwinkel spielen um damit schnell und genau arbeiten zu können. Auch Langzeichen sind kein Problem Super Tool
5 ★The on/off of the OCR is troublesome. The positioning of the cursor needs getting use to; felt a bit too precise at times. If a multiple characters term breaks across two lines, I needed to rotate be phone and hope the characters will come together. But, I am loving the app for allowing me to read Chinese articles and news. Please keep up the fantastic work.
1 ★The OCR is not very good, I can't get it to recognise some black words on a white background. The whole reason I bought this app was for manhua, which has text in various fonts and backgrounds so it doesn't work for that. It needs another app to work, the dictionary. The free version doesn't have translation ability.
4 ★I really like hanging cursor, I always use it together with Pleco. Hanping cursor should introduce features like that of Pleco that enables highlighting an entire chinese sentence or even paragraphs and you can skim through it effortlessly!
5 ★Thanks for all the personal support. Adding Hanping Popup's "toggle" function to my Quick Settings seems to be a good workaround for the disappearing "persisent" notification problem in Android 12. 😀
5 ★Keep up the good work!
3 ★I keep getting a error notification saying that Android Q cant run screen monitoring.
5 ★Using this for about 2 years now, it works!!
