How to use it

1
Paste, and it annotates instantly
Every Chinese character gets its pinyin above it, with tone sandhi handled by a built-in dictionary. Punctuation, Latin letters and digits pass through untouched.
2
Pick the tone style you need
Tone marks (mā) for reading practice, numbers (ma1) when fonts misalign diacritics, or none for advanced learners. Polyphonic characters are resolved from the surrounding words.
3
Turn it into a dictation sheet
Dictation mode hides the characters and leaves blank boxes under the pinyin — the classic 看拼音写词语 worksheet, made from any text in seconds.
4
Print on A4, nothing else on the page
The print layout keeps only the annotated sheet: clean margins, no header, no ads. Save as PDF straight from the print dialog.
