Hanzi Stroke

Hanzi Stroke is a clean, focused tool for learning Chinese characters — built for self-learners, HSK candidates, heritage families, and anyone curious about how Chinese writing works.

— What you can do —

- Watch authentic stroke-order animations for thousands of Chinese characters, powered by the open-source Make Me a Hanzi dataset.
- Hear native-quality pronunciation through your device's built-in Chinese text-to-speech engine.
- Practice speaking with the on-device speech recognizer — get instant feedback on whether your pronunciation matches the standard.
- Save characters to your personal favorites list and revisit them anytime.
- Track what you've learned with a local progress system that survives across sessions.

— Why people love it —

✓ Fully offline. No account, no sign-up, no cloud sync.
✓ No ads. No tracking. No third-party analytics.
✓ All learning data stays on your device — your privacy is the default, not a setting.
✓ Lightweight, fast, and distraction-free.

— Who it's for —

- Beginners learning Mandarin who want to build correct stroke habits early.
- HSK 1–6 students reinforcing handwriting and pronunciation.
- Heritage learners reconnecting with Chinese characters.
- Teachers and parents looking for a no-nonsense reference tool.

Stroke data is based on the open-source Make Me a Hanzi project. Chinese pronunciation uses your device's system TTS engine. The microphone is used only when you start a pronunciation practice; audio never leaves your device.
