Qingdu is an AI Chinese reader that turns your camera into a fast OCR, pronunciation, and translation assistant.
Take a photo of any Chinese characters — textbooks, signs, menus, or notes — and Qingdu instantly recognizes the text with high accuracy, reads it aloud in natural native pronunciation, and provides a translation. Built especially for learners who want to read along and improve as they go.
KEY FEATURES
- AI-Powered OCR — Advanced AI recognition delivers exceptionally high accuracy
- Pinyin Noise Removal — Automatically filters out pinyin and annotations, extracting only clean Chinese characters
- Native Pronunciation — Listen to clear, natural text-to-speech for every character

WHY QINGDU?
Many textbooks print pinyin above or beside the characters, which confuses ordinary OCR tools. Qingdu uses AI to intelligently remove this noise and extract only the Chinese characters you need — giving you clean, accurate results every time.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Qingdu is designed for learners of Chinese who study with physical textbooks and want a faster, more accurate way to look up, hear, and understand characters. Whether you're a beginner building vocabulary or an intermediate learner reading native materials, Qingdu helps you read with confidence.
