The best way to learn Chinese is by reading things you actually care about. HanziLens helps you do that without getting stuck on unfamiliar words.

Select any Chinese text on a webpage, right-click and choose "Analyze with HanziLens" (or hit Ctrl+Shift+H). You'll see the sentence broken down into individual words, each with its pinyin pronunciation and English definition.

Hover over a word to see detailed dictionary entries. Click it to open MDBG for deeper study.

This word-by-word breakdown helps you understand how Chinese sentences are structured - where one word ends and another begins, which characters form compound words, and how grammar particles fit in. That's the kind of pattern recognition that builds real reading fluency over time.

Open multiple popups to compare sentences, drag them around, close with Escape.
