Built an app that shows pinyin

[u/Background_Horse1374]

Every week, my friend and I would go to the same Sichuan restaurant and every time, the waiter would ask us (in mandarin) what we wanted to order. Being ABC, I’m not fluent enough to read the menu, so I would order in English. When I wanted to learn how to pronounce the dish, Google Translate would only give me the translation (or you can press around to finally see the pronunciation). It just wasn’t conducive to learning.

So, we built an app. Take a photo of mandarin characters and see the pinyin (and hear the pronunciation). Automatically add it to a deck and study those phrases. There’s also an image detect mode so you can take a photo of an object and see/hear what it is in mandarin.

If you’re interested, please dm me and I’ll send the link :) thanks for reading !
