Do you ever look at Chinese text and wish you could see Pinyin above each character?
Now you can, with Pinyin TL!
With Pinyin TL, you take a picture, select some Chinese text within that picture, and that text is displayed at the top of the screen along with its corresponding Pinyin.
You can even tap on a word (at the top) and see its CC-CEDICT dictionary entry.
App features:
- Uses Apple's "Live Text" UI for text selection
- Recognizes traditional AND simplified Chinese characters

Pinyin TL is made by the developer of tChess (the chess app that was featured in Apple's "Learn" commercial for the iPad) and Learn Chess (the Apple Staff Favorite e-book).
