Update now and enjoy a better learning experience! 5.1.5 Jul 3 Hanzii rolled up its sleeves and tidied up a whole bunch of things so you can learn the easy way and still look cool:
– Photo translation gets a new way to pick text: just swipe your finger across the words to "highlight" exactly what you need — no more tapping character by character. Scanning is faster and smoother too.
– Japanese and Chinese finally made peace: translating Japanese to Chinese now shows proper Chinese pinyin instead of wandering off into Japanese romaji.
– Traditional and Japanese-style characters get fair treatment: the right word shows up and zhuyin displays correctly, with no more mysterious stray symbols.
– AI lessons listen better: conversations, tips and sample sentences now respect the phonetic style you picked.
– TOCFL mock tests: flip between traditional and simplified and the test updates right away — no guessing.
– Pronunciation practice, no more false accusations: say a correct homophone and it counts as correct.
– Log out with peace of mind: your notebook is safely synced to the server before anything is cleared from your device, so nothing goes missing. And if the network gets moody, the app won't kick you out for no reason.
– Plus a pile of little touch-ups to make everything neater and smoother.
