How the app builds your character deck

Learning Chinese characters means meeting the same shapes many times before they stick, so a Chinese character flashcards app works best when it builds cards from the lists you already have. Paste notes, upload a textbook scan, or photograph a vocabulary page, and the generator pulls out each character with its pinyin and meaning.

Radicals shown on the front, with meaning and pinyin on the back
Tone marks checked as part of every card
Mixed quizzes after each batch of new characters
Daily reviews so older characters keep coming back

Example Chinese character flashcards

好 (hǎo)Good. It is made of 女 (woman) and 子 (child).

林 (lín)Forest. It is two 木 (tree) characters side by side.

What does the water radical 氵 usually suggest?Water or liquid, as in 河 (river) and 海 (sea).

In 人 (rén), which stroke is written first?The left-falling stroke (撇) comes before the right-falling stroke (捺).

Name the four Mandarin tones shown on ma.First tone mā (high level), second má (rising), third mǎ (dipping), fourth mà (falling). The neutral tone has no mark.

Generate the full set

Reads your own material

Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of textbook pages, and get cards from them.

Spaced repetition

Characters you miss come back sooner, and ones you know move to longer intervals, so review time goes where it helps most.

Quizzes and mind maps

Test recognition with multiple choice or short answer, and map how radicals and components connect to meaning.

How it works

Upload your list

Add a PDF, a slide deck, or a photo of the character list from class.

Review the cards

Check the generated fronts and backs and fix any character that was misread.

Study on schedule

Practice in the browser each day and let spaced repetition set when each card returns.

Cards alone will not teach stroke order or how radicals hint at meaning, so pair recognition practice with short quizzes. Multiple choice covers quick recall, while short answer forces you to produce the pinyin yourself.

Frequently asked questions

How many new characters should I add at a time?

Most learners retain more from a small daily batch than from one long cram session. Spaced repetition then brings older characters back on schedule so they stay in memory.

Should I learn to recognize characters or to write them?

Recognition usually comes first, since you need to read a character before you can reproduce it. Writing practice with stroke order can be added once the common characters feel familiar.

Can I export my flashcards?

Exports are part of the paid plans: Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser with three generations per month.

Can I use photos of a character list?

Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so a snapped vocabulary page can become flashcards. Check the results, since handwriting and small print can be misread.
