If you regularly find yourself struggling to read Chinese in daily life, Niàn was made for you. When you use Niàn to scan Chinese text, it only shows you the pinyin and definitions for words you don't already know, exercising your reading skills instead of atrophying them like a translator does. If you need more help, simply tap again to get additional annotations, including a full English translation.
