Hanping Chinese Dictionary

I've been building Hanping Chinese Dictionary for over 17 years. What started as a personal project to help myself learn Chinese has grown into something I'm genuinely proud of. I'm a solo developer, and I pour everything into making this the best offline Chinese dictionary experience possible.

Mandarin learners deserve better tools. That's why I built Hanping—a clean, powerful, yet intuitive dictionary where you can look up words using English, Pinyin, or handwriting. Everything works offline, and I keep adding features that actually matter to learners.

Here's what I've built:

★ Chinese handwriting recognition

★ Audio pronunciation by native speaker

★ Hanzi stroke animations (800+ free, 8,700+ via in-app purchase)

★ Hanzi decompositions showing how characters break down

★ Over 7,500 example sentences with English translations

★ Phonetic groups, HSK word lists, Chengyu idioms

★ Soundboard for practicing tones (and tone pairs, when you purchase native speaker add-on)

★ Widgets, backup/restore, offline search, zero ads

Features via in-app purchase: AnkiDroid Export, Vocab Import/Export, ABC dictionaries, multi-syllable native speaker audio, AI voice recordings for 4 different Mandarin accents (Mainland or Taiwan, Male or Female) covering around 24,000 distinct example sentences.

I respond to emails within 24 hours. Report bugs, share ideas, ask questions—direct access to the person building this.

Not happy? Full refund within 30 days. No questions asked. I don't want your money if you're not amazingly happy.
