Look up words without leaving the page
Every word is a pop-up dictionary entry with pinyin, meaning, and pronunciation. No copying into a dictionary app and losing your place.
Keep the words that matter
Save a word and it stays marked in the text, together with the sentence you found it in, so you can review it later.
How to use pinyin without depending on it
- Read with pinyin turned off first, and only hover the words you can’t recognize.
- Save words you want to remember, not every word you look up.
- Turn pinyin on to check your pronunciation, then read the text aloud once.
- Come back a day later and read the same text again. The saved words should feel familiar.
