Turn an unfamiliar Chinese passage into a readable learning text without separating pronunciation from characters.
This free Chinese text annotator and analyzer places pinyin directly above each Chinese character, keeps characters grouped into words, and optionally colors those words by HSK level. You can show pinyin everywhere, hide it completely, or reveal it only for vocabulary above your selected level.
Context-aware pinyin handles common polyphonic words such as 重阳 and 睡着 more accurately than converting one isolated character at a time. HSK colors use the same GF0025-2021 vocabulary framework as Shanhai Story’s story audits.
Every syllable stays visually attached to the Hanzi it belongs to.
Small gaps reveal where one Chinese word ends and the next begins.
Show pinyin only above your HSK level to practise character recognition.
Yes. Choose tone marks, tone numbers, or no tones, then use Copy pinyin to place the converted passage on your clipboard.
Names, specialised terms, recent expressions, and some valid combinations may not appear as standalone entries in the HSK 1–9 vocabulary list. Advanced entries share one HSK 7–9 color because the official word list groups them together.
Yes. Annotation happens inside your browser. Your passage is not uploaded or saved by Shanhai Story.
Move from your annotated text to a short graded story with the same character-aligned pinyin and HSK-aware support.
