Can you create a Google gadget with this? I like to use it directly from my Google home page.

Hmm, doesn’t seem to work with less common characters — maybe look into getting data from the Unihan “database” (from unicode.org)?

Very nice tool, but are you sure it works correctly?

It translated 單 as shàn but I am quite sure it should be dān.

Best regards

腳 is translated as jué, but shouldn’t it be jiǎo?

25 07 2007
ozy (10:37:37) :

ripat,

Thank you for the feedback. I guess there are still some issues with converting words that have two or more pronunciations. Will fix that in the near future.

In your comment:

腳 is promounced jué when it means “role”. As role played by an actor.
It is promounced jiǎo whenit means foot ( which is commonly used).

單 is pronouced shàn when it is refered to the surname.
It should be dān when it means singular (which is commonly used).

ripat (07:16:05) :

Thanks. Here is some more feedback:

It didn’t return pinyin for 黃 (yellow).

It works really well for most of the characters I try it on, the ones that I have told you about are about the only really issues I have had so far.

Good work!

Best regards

Hi guys :

This is great ! But, is there any freeware that allows you to change the text from Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese when you are typing on a Excel file or Word.

I mean, without copy and paste here, do the conversaion and then again copy and paste back to the document ?

Tks,
Davis

Really good support!

I had got software with chinese pronounciation of chinese text. It has been difficult to remember sounds as I am not a chinese person. This site helped to convert text in pinyin, easy to learn sounds for me.

Great work!

Leo Hostel (02:59:56) :

Great stuff, very useful. Used your tool to convert our chinese menu into pinyin so the customers can learn some chinese :)

One question/suggestion. Is it possible to place the translated characters and pinyin separately in the right box, perhaps one above the other. Like below…

鸡[jī] 肉[ròu] 炒[chǎo] 饭[fàn] ….

Jī ròu chǎo fàn
鸡肉炒饭

Just an idea ;)

Keep up the good work!

Lily Du (08:27:37) :

How to mark 4-tones on multipul tones (duo yin zi)? e.g. 数 , 3rd tone,verb, count. But 4th tone, is numbers. The system gives me 3rd tone only although I typed in two 数 . It always shows 3rd tone.

Thanks for help!

Lily Du

12 03 2008
admin (08:47:08) :

Try to convert : 数数字
数[shǔ]数字[shù zì]

The system recognizes that the second word is related to number and not count

Hope this helps.

Thanks for such a useful tool. I compared several converters online and this is the best! Thank you! It will be even BETTER if you can get ride of the square parentheses.

Joanna (21:33:19) :

Great tool!! I haven’t found another converter that is as accurate as this one so far. Thanks so much~!!

Also, I agree with Leo Hostel. Would it be possible to put the Pinyin above the words instead of beside them?

Thanks again! :]

20 06 2008
admin (09:29:51) :

Thank you for the suggestions.

The intention for the brakets was to identify the pinyin output when the orignal text contains mixture of Chinese and English.

Similarly, if we were to place pinyin on top of the original text, the two outputs will be miss-aligned for long text.

Can we convert the whole file? For example, I have a Simplefied Chinese excel file and I want to convert to Tranditional Chinese . Thanks!

cheng (21:30:10) :

Great site, but when I copy and paste the converted words (pinyin with tone mark) could not be pasted on the Mac. Word. So I only can use it as reference.

What a great tool, I believe the only one of its kind on the internet! Another one here who agrees with Leo Hostel that it would be nice if the pinyin could be kept separate from the characters. Thank you very much for this wonderful facility.

28 07 2010
Mark (09:38:13) :

I tried it with 我不要睡觉，我没感觉, which catches a lot of these tools out.
A lot of people studying Chinese would like to be able to copy the pinyin without the hanzi though – using this I have to copy each of the pinyin parts separately and then put them together again. Why not do it all?

我[wǒ] 不要[bú yào] 睡觉[shuì jiào] ，我[wǒ] 没[méi] 感觉[gǎn jué]
then
wǒ bú yào shuì jiào, wǒ méi gǎn jué on a separate line so it can just be copied directly
