Tone Canvas:
See Mandarin in Waves
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn Chinese text into living tone waves. Type, paste, or dictate Mandarin and watch each character bend with its tone.
Tone Canvas is a creative typography canvas for Mandarin tones.
Type, paste, or dictate Chinese text, and watch each character transform into a connected tone wave. First tone stays flat, second tone rises, third tone bends into a stitched valley, and fourth tone falls.
Use Tone Canvas to explore Chinese pronunciation visually, create expressive tone typography, or simply see how Mandarin sounds can become form.
Features:
• Type or paste Chinese text
• Dictate Mandarin into editable text
• Visualize tones as connected Hanzi waves
• Switch between text and tone structure
• Create clean typographic compositions
• Designed for learners, teachers, designers, and language lovers
Chinese tones are not just marks above pinyin. They are rhythm, movement, and shape.
