HanziLens — Read any Chinese on screen

About

Turn anything on your screen into a Chinese lesson.

You're watching a Chinese show, reading a manhua, or scrolling a Chinese website — and a line you can't read goes by. Snip it with HanziLens and get an instant card explaining exactly what it says:

— The meaning, in your language (30 languages supported)
— Pinyin for the whole sentence
— A word-by-word breakdown: each word's pinyin and meaning
— Character-by-character detail, so you learn the building blocks, not just the translation
— Listen to the sentence with one tap

TWO WAYS TO CAPTURE

1. Snip this tab (Alt+Shift+S) — drag a rectangle over any webpage: YouTube subtitles, bilibili, web manga readers, articles. The card appears right on the page.

2. Capture a screen or app — share a screen or window, freeze the frame, and crop. This reaches desktop apps, video players, and other monitors — including many players where a normal tab snip shows a black frame.

An honest note: some hardware-protected video (certain streaming apps with strict DRM) can still come back black even in screen capture. Most content works; we tell you clearly when it can't.

NOT JUST A DICTIONARY — A STUDY LOOP

Everything you snip can be saved to your library, and the companion web app turns it into real study:

— Spaced-repetition flashcards built from your own captures
— Cloze (fill-in-the-blank) review and listening practice
— Stroke-order writing practice for every character
— Practice quizzes generated from your saved words
— A daily goal, streak, and stats heatmap to keep you going
— Collections, tags, notes, and CSV/Anki export

Words you chose, from shows you love, become the deck you review. That context is why it sticks.

PRIVACY, PLAINLY

The region you snip is sent to our service to be analyzed, then discarded — we only keep what you explicitly save. No browsing history is collected, and the extension only activates when you start a capture. Full policy: https://hanzilens.modiprompt.pro/privacy
