The cross-platform Chinese
learning toolkit for every step
from discovery to mastery.
Read in Syng’s built-in reader or search in English, Chinese, or Pinyin. Look up unfamiliar words as you find them, then save the ones that matter to your vocabulary lists for later practice.
Whenever you encounter an unfamiliar word in Syng, click it to bring up the popup dictionary. Understand it in context without losing your place or focus.
Turn your vocabulary lists into flashcards and multiple-choice quizzes. Practice the words you actually encounter, and use animated stroke-order guides to learn how each character is written.
Syng is offline-first, so its core learning tools work without an internet connection. It also includes extras for working with Chinese text—add Pinyin, convert between Simplified and Traditional, color text by tone, prettify Pinyin, and more.
