About

Detailed description
PinVocab — Read Chinese anywhere, and actually remember it.
PinVocab turns any webpage into a Chinese reading lesson. Select any Chinese text and instantly see pinyin and zhuyin (bopomofo) displayed as ruby right above the characters, along with a clean translation and audio read-aloud. No copy-pasting into another tab, no switching apps — the help appears exactly where you're reading.
But PinVocab is more than a translator. Every word you save is graded automatically on the HSK scale, so the extension learns where you stand and recommends study books that match your real level.
What you can do

Instant on-page translation — Select Chinese text and get a translation in a tidy popup, with the original shown in pinyin, zhuyin, or both.
Pinyin & zhuyin ruby — Readings sit directly above each character, the way learners actually need them. Supports both Simplified and Traditional Chinese (Taiwan & Mainland reading modes).
Listen to native-style audio — Tap to hear the Chinese pronunciation read aloud.
Build your vocabulary book — Save any word with one click, organize words into folders, rename and manage them, and remove them just as easily.
Export to your favorite tools — Send your saved words to Anki, Quizlet, or CSV and keep studying outside the browser.
Automatic HSK level assessment — PinVocab analyzes the words you've saved and estimates your current HSK level, with a clear level-distribution chart.
Personalized book recommendations — Based on your level, get curated study-book picks so you always know what to learn next.
Multilingual interface — Use the extension in English, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, or French, and translate Chinese into any of these languages.
