Panda Dictionary & HSK Trainer is a modern Chinese-English learning companion built around fast lookup, clear pronunciation, and practical study tools. Use it for everyday words, 2026 HSK vocabulary, Chinese text you see in the real world, and cultural terms that ordinary dictionaries often make hard to explore.
Search traditional or simplified characters, pinyin, Jyutping, Cantonese romanization, or English. Open a result to hear Mandarin, Taiwan Mandarin, or Hong Kong Cantonese, compare writing forms, inspect related entries, and break longer words into character-level meanings.
Panda is dictionary-first, but not dictionary-only. It brings lookup, reading, scanning, HSK study, flashcards, and playful cultural explorers into one focused app for iPhone and iPad.
Highlights:
- Fast offline Chinese-English lookup after installation
- 2026 HSK vocabulary browser (HSK 1-2 free; HSK 3-9 with Panda Plus or a free video)
- HSK games and flashcards (HSK 1-2 free; HSK 3-9 with Panda Plus or a free video)
- Reading Assist with pinyin above pasted Chinese text
- Camera OCR scan and offline translation support
- Mandarin, Taiwan Mandarin, and Cantonese pronunciation
- A growing collection of Panda-curated word meanings and Cantonese readings
- Character breakdowns and related dictionary entries
- Kinship explorer for Chinese family relationships
- Mahjong tile and winning hand explorer
- Food, music, and cinema discovery
Use Panda when you want to look up a Chinese word quickly, check how it sounds, understand each character inside a phrase, review HSK vocabulary, scan Chinese text, or explore language through Hong Kong food, songs, films, family terms, and Mahjong.
Core dictionary lookup works offline after installation, so you can keep studying while traveling, commuting, reading, or sitting somewhere with no reliable signal.
