About Chinese Reading Helper

Read Chinese anywhere on the web — pinyin, natural audio, and AI translations, one highlight away. HOW IT WORKS 1. Highlight any Chinese text on any website 2. Click the red 拼 badge that appears 3. Pinyin instantly appears above every character — click 🔊 to hear it, or ✨ for an AI translation FEATURES 🈶 Accurate pinyin — context-aware readings that get tricky multi-pronunciation characters (多音字) right: 银行 → yínháng, but 行不行 → xíng bu xíng. Displayed right above each character, like furigana in Japanese textbooks. 🔊 Natural audio — any selection read aloud by a high-quality neural Mandarin voice, slightly slowed for learners. Free and unlimited. ✨ AI translations — one click gives you a natural full-sentence translation plus a word-by-word vocabulary breakdown with pinyin and meanings. Powered by DeepSeek AI. 🖱 Works everywhere — news sites, Wikipedia, Weibo, blogs, novels, lyrics... anywhere you can select text. PERFECT FOR Intermediate learners reading native content who are tired of switching tabs to a dictionary every sentence. Keep reading; look things up without leaving the page. PRICING • Pinyin and audio: free and unlimited, forever • AI translation: 5 free translations per month • Premium: $5/month for unlimited AI translations — sign in with Google, cancel anytime • Or bring your own DeepSeek API key for unlimited translations at cost PRIVACY The extension only acts on text you explicitly highlight — it never reads your browsing history or page content.
