Pinyin Helper - Chinese Study
Chinese to Pinyin, OCR & HSK
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Convert Chinese text to tone-marked pinyin, read aloud, study HSK and textbook words, save vocabulary, and export printable PDFs for practice.
Pinyin Helper is built around one simple goal: making Chinese text easier to read, hear, and practice.
Enter Chinese characters and quickly convert them into tone-marked pinyin. You can read the result in paragraph mode, study it character by character, listen to pronunciation, save vocabulary, and export printable PDFs for review.
Pinyin Helper is not a complicated learning platform. It is a focused study tool for students, families, teachers, and Mandarin learners who want a clear way to connect Chinese characters with pronunciation.
With Pinyin Helper, you can:
- Convert Chinese characters into tone-marked pinyin
- Read longer text in paragraph mode
- Practice individual characters in character mode
- Adjust text size and reading speed
- Choose a preferred Mandarin voice
- Listen to full-text reading or character playback
- Use photo OCR from camera or photo library
- Press and hold to speak Mandarin and turn speech into text
- Export PDFs that match the current display mode
- Study HSK and unified textbook content
- Review character, writing, and word lists
- Save useful characters to vocabulary favorites
- Reuse previous conversions from history
Why this approach helps:
1. Pinyin and characters stay connected
Pinyin appears with the matching Chinese characters, making it easier to read and remember pronunciation.
2. Reading and character practice are separate
Paragraph mode is better for reading sentences and passages. Character mode is better for focused recognition practice.
3. Audio supports pronunciation memory
You can listen to a full passage or tap individual characters, which is helpful for learners building pronunciation confidence.
4. Textbook content supports steady study
The learning section includes HSK and unified textbook-style content, so learners can practice in a more structured way.
5. Vocabulary favorites make review easier
Save unfamiliar characters and review them later with pinyin and audio.
Great for:
- students learning Chinese characters and pinyin
- families preparing reading or review materials
- Mandarin learners reading Chinese text
- teachers creating printable pinyin practice sheets
- HSK learners and pronunciation practice
- anyone who wants a simple offline-friendly Chinese study tool
