听写 (tīng xiě) is a Mandarin Chinese dictation app that reads characters aloud in natural Mandarin or Cantonese while you write them by hand on paper. Build a custom vocabulary library from any photo and master it with SM-2 spaced repetition. We handle the reading, pacing, and scheduling. You focus entirely on the physical act of writing. Photograph any Chinese text. On-device OCR extracts the characters instantly. The app reads the character aloud in natural Mandarin (or Cantonese). You write the character by hand on real paper, just like in a classroom. Reveal the answer, check stroke order, and grade yourself to update intervals. Replace your teacher, study partner, and pre-recorded audio…from tingxie.ink

My AI writing assistant for Chinese2024 · unscrambler.dpw.me · ▲74Hi HN! In trying to improve my Chinese skills, I built this tool that lets me write a mix of Chinese and English, then recommends a proper Chinese expression. This is super helpful when I want to write something in Chinese but I don't know all the vocab/grammar - I can enter my best effort and use English for the parts I don't know. Really, the fundamental benefit of the tool is that it encourages me to exercise the writing muscle, rather than defaulting to translating from English. My goal was to build something that is fast, relatively inexpensive, and not prone to misleading people.…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
