## Description

CN-Reader helps you learn Chinese by reading. Open a text, tap any unfamiliar word and instantly see its meaning, pinyin, audio and stroke order.<br><br>What you can do:<br>• Reader. Texts are split into words with a dictionary, and every word is tappable. Toggle pinyin above the characters, listen to a sentence or translate it in one tap.<br>• Your vocabulary. Save words with statuses from &quot;new&quot; to &quot;known&quot;. Words in the text are highlighted by how well you know them, so you see your progress at a glance.<br>• Spaced repetition. Cards come back after 1, 3, 7, 16 and 30 days: swipe right if you remembered, left to review again.<br>• Reminders. The app reminds you when words are due and tells you how many.<br>• Text of the day. Every morning a fresh short text on your interests with the words you are learning.<br>• Texts for your HSK level. A shared library of graded texts, AI generation of a text on any topic and level, and import of your own texts, books and PDFs.<br>• Conversation. Practice dialogue with a partner who speaks at your HSK level; answer by voice or text.<br>• Questions about the text. After reading, check your understanding: the app asks questions in Chinese and grades your answer.<br>• Statistics: learned words, day streak, points.<br><br>English word meanings come from the open CC-CEDICT dictionary. You can start without signing up and set a username and password later. One account works on the website cnreader.ru, the Telegram app @cnreaderbot and the mobile app: texts, vocabulary and progress sync automatically. Interface in English and Russian.<br><br>No ads and no in-app purchases.
