// Features
Translator and tutor
Translator and tutor
in one app.
Built for travellers in mainland China and Hong Kong, where online translators often don't work.
Menus & signs
Point the camera, take a photo or share a screenshot. Common dishes are recognised by name, so you know what you're ordering.
Save what helps
Star any translation. Group phrases, play them aloud, or show a full-screen card — hotel address, allergies, "take me to…".
Flashcards that stick
Saved phrases become spaced-repetition cards. Listen and repeat — the app checks what you said.
Pinyin & Jyutping
Every Chinese line comes with its reading. Type pinyin to get the characters and the meaning.
No signal needed
Speech, translation and text reading all run on your phone. Install before you travel — then it works anywhere.
