HanST - Chinese Converter

About

發 or 髮? "视频" is "影片" in Taiwan — 繁簡相通 (HanST) is the Simplified–Traditional Chinese companion built for users in Taiwan: it converts characters to the Taiwan standard, and tells you how everyday things are actually said on both sides of the strait, and why. FOUR CONVERSION MODES, TAIWAN STANDARD Simplified→Traditional (Taiwan), the same with cross-strait phrasing, Traditional→Simplified, and the same with Mainland phrasing — one tap to switch. Long text converts in a side-by-side view, ready to proofread, copy and share. Powered by bundled OpenCC dictionaries, with results as you type. ONE CHARACTER, MANY FORMS One Simplified character often maps to several Traditional ones: 发→發 (發現) / 髮 (頭髮), 面→面 (見面) / 麵 (拉麵). Every candidate comes with example words, and a rice-grid character card shows zhuyin, pinyin, radical and stroke count. Polyphonic characters are fully covered — see every reading at a glance (和 has six) — built for writing, teaching and learning. A CROSS-STRAIT PHRASEBOOK, 934 SELF-BUILT ENTRIES Seven categories — 3C tech, online shopping & logistics, drama & danmu, travel & transport, workplace, internet slang, and same-word-different-meaning traps — covering everyday differences like 软件/軟體, 充电宝/行動電源 and 土豆/馬鈴薯, each with context notes and example sentences. 347 MAINLAND REGIONAL EXPRESSIONS Local sayings from 8 regions — Shanghai, Beijing, Sichuan-Chongqing, Minnan, Guangdong, Xi'an, Dongbei and Fuzhou — so dramas, danmu and marketplace chats stop being guesswork.
