Features Hanping Chinese Popup OCR
The ultimate solution for quickly looking up Chinese words on your smartphone or tablet, no matter what app (or system screens) you are using.The worlds first app (on any platform) to combine in-app screen capture with OCR technology.If youre not satisfied, for any reason, within 30 days you get a full refund, period, no questions asked.
We dont want your money if youre not amazingly happy.
Simply send us an email.Note: This app is for Lollipop (5.0) devices or higher.
Our other text recognition app Hanping Chinese Camera is available on Jelly Bean (4.1) and higher.If you experience any issues (for example, device-specific issues we may not yet be aware of) please send us an email.When the app is running, there is an always-present "handle" floating over your screen.
When you want to look up a Chinese word, place the handle next to the word, and you will see a popup containing the dictionary definition.
You can also play the audio, copy to clipboard, add to you starred lists or simply jump to the definition in our dictionary app.Please note: this app uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology so not always will every character be correctly recognised.
However, in supported scenarios you should get at least 99% accuracy.Works with regular lines of text and most text in images.
Not suited for stylised text or text on complex/patterned backgrounds.A persistent notification allows you to easily hide/show the handle.
When the handle is hidden, the status bar icon is also hidden to keep your status bar clean!
You can optionally show the notification at device startup and also control hiding/showing the notification from the main app screen.This works with our Mandarin (free and paid) and Cantonese (paid) dictionary apps.Typical usage scenarios:* Instant messaging (e.g.
WeChat, Line, Messenger)* Websites* Apps only localised to Chinese (so buttons etc are not in your language)* Photos containing regular text (e.g most menus)* Maps* System language is Chinese but is not your native language (great way of learning Chinese!)Please note: this app does not support vertical text, although we will probably add this in a future update.Characters supported: 6703 (Simplified), 5401 (Traditional) covering a total 8972 unique charactersRecognition accuracy: 99.5% (Simplified), 98.7% (Traditional) based on various scanned books and newspapersImportant note: If you are using a "lux" app (e.g.
Lux Lite, Twilight or 藍色光濾波器) to control the screen colors, this may prevent you from clicking the confirmation button to start screen recording.
In this case, you would need to turn off (or uninstall) that "lux" app.Please report any bugs or suggestions to us via e-mail.• Fixed cursor not movable on Android Q• Minor bug fixes• Fixed recently introduced bug on Android M (6.0) where cursor hide was not working

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"When I try to move the cursor, it sometimes disappears."
Vicky Zhen
"So-called "persistent" notification keeps disappearing. Often misreads "華" as "苹." Love the translation of "玻璃心" as "butthurt." 🤣 EDIT: Persistent notification disappeared again. 🤦🏼♂️ EDIT 2: Just over a week later, it disappeared once more. 🤦🏼♂️"
Andrew Hokanson
"Keep up the good work!"

"I purchased this app on my phone and it isn't showing up as purchased on my tablet. It wants me to purchase the app again in order to use it, I would like help solving this issue, any advice? Edit: After just 30 minutes, the issue has resolved itself, I am now able to download this app on my tablet, thanks for the fast response!"
Henry J.H. Lau
"I love Hanping but i don't like this one. First, I bought it on my tablet and I can't install it on my phone (same Google account!). Second, it only finds the correct hanzi if the cursor is on a very precise position (which is difficult to find) and only 70% of times it is accurate which means it takes several tries. No vertical text... Does it only work with hi-res pictures? So far it is more practical and fast to open Hanping dict on a separate window or on my phone and draw the hanzi..."
Fellipe silva martins
"Please add function to translate vertical text (i have hanping camera which support vertical text, but this app is not convenient) And there's still some bugs with larger text and sometimes it shows another character which is not what i scan"
Boong
"Works pretty good. Sometimes detects the wrong character. Does not work when casting your phone to larger screen. Conflicts with Samsung Smartview. I bought the app with the intentions to cast to a big screen. Sorry 2 stars."
