About Jade - Chinese Dictionary
Jade is a Chinese dictionary and learning companion built to help you understand, remember, and use real Chinese. Search by Hanzi, pinyin, English, or handwriting. Jade shows what matters first: characters, pronunciation, and practical meaning. Go deeper with examples, related words, audio, writing guidance, and learning context. **UNDERSTAND MORE** Use Jade Explain for sentences, phrases, names, idioms, and unfamiliar expressions. Jade breaks Chinese down clearly so you can understand what it means, how it works, and when to use it. **REMEMBER WHAT YOU LEARN** Save any word to flashcards and organize vocabulary into your own decks. Build lasting knowledge with Daily sessions, spaced-repetition review, Smart Quiz, and Hanzi writing practice. **READ REAL CHINESE** Paste or import your own text, or explore curated stories in Jade Reader. Choose how much pinyin to see, tap unfamiliar words for instant help, reveal translations when needed, and save useful vocabulary as you read. **SCROLL CHINESE** Learn from native speakers through short YouTube clips. Follow synchronized Hanzi, pinyin, and translation; tap any word for instant help, replay a sentence, and save useful vocabulary as you watch. **LOOK UP CHINESE AROUND YOU** Point Jade Lens at Chinese text or import an image to recognize words in the real world. Look up what you find and save useful vocabulary directly to your decks. **LEARN YOUR WAY** Jade supports Simplified and Traditional Chinese, with optional Cantonese support. Core dictionary lookup and saved learning data remain available offline, and no account is required to get started. Whether you're learning your first characters or already reading Chinese, Jade gives you one place to look things up, understand them, and remember what you learn. Look it up. Understand it. Remember it. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
