About
Point your camera at Chinese text and see three lines at once: the characters, the pinyin with tone marks, and the meaning. It works live on signs, menus, packaging and textbooks, and on photos and screenshots from your library, in Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Everything runs on your iPhone or iPad. No account, and nothing you scan is uploaded. It works offline once the language pack is installed. WHAT YOU GET • Hanzi, pinyin with tone marks and the meaning, together • The meaning in English or in your own language, chosen in Settings • Live camera reading, with Freeze to hold the text • Photos and screenshots from your library • Tap characters to look them up in the dictionary • Copy or share all three lines with one tap • "HanCam Translate" in the share sheet, for Chinese text in any app • A wide, square or full-screen reading area, or draw your own with a finger • Pinch to zoom in on small or distant text GOOD TO KNOW • Reads printed text. Handwriting is not supported. • The meaning line uses Apple's on-device translation. Each language needs a one-time language pack download. • Free: 10 copies a day. HanCam Premium is a one-time purchase that removes the limit. MADE FOR • Learners who want the sound of a word, not only its meaning • Reading menus, signs and labels while traveling • Screenshots from chats, games and apps where text cannot be selected I built HanCam for myself while finding my way around China: to read and pronounce characters I did not know yet, without a connection. Requires iOS 18 or later.
