Description
HOW TO USE NOVLI:
1. Snap a photo of a chinese text you want to read.
2. Tap on words to instantly translate them and see pinyn.
3. Explore the other features: add to Anki style flashcards in a single tap, ask AI questions about the text, listen to your text.
Novli works for images of textbooks, novels, social media posts, uploaded lecture notes, or any other Chinese text input you need.
We built Novli because when we were learning to read Chinese, it would always take ages to look up words, find their pinyin, and add to our Anki flashcards. Now we can do this all from Novli in a few taps.

(Note, we recently renamed from Readly to Novli. Same app, subscriptions and lesson history, just a new name)

Ratings and Reviews
The last Chinese app you need
Downloaded this, and after 3 days I promptly deleted all my other Chinese apps.
I’ve tried The Chairman’s Bao, Clozemaster, and LingQ, but Readly is by far the most effective for reading. It’s easy to use, doesn’t require a vpn, and has a scan function that picks up traditional characters as well as calligraphy.
Highly recommend for anybody who reads a lot or wants to read more in Chinese.
Developer Response ,
thank you so much for the kind review! I'm glad the app is useful :)
Time saver
I used to manually look up words and add them to Anki… this app does it all for me in seconds. I'm now even learning the most native Chinese expressions from rednote thanks to this app lol
Brilliant app!
Functionality and design are great! Makes reading Chinese so much easier.
