Description
Paste or type in Chinese sentences, pinyin will not only translate them into Pinyin romanization but also highlight display, and read them out in Mandarin Chinese. (Do NOT need an internet connection, it works offline absolutely!)
Pinyin is a valuable tool for learning Chinese. Insert any Chinese, be it a word, sentence, or paragraph, and the app will convert it into Pinyin romanization. The app is especially helpful if you're taking a Chinese class or is planning to take the SAT II Chinese Exam.

Ratings and Reviews
Great little app
I downloaded this so that i could translate articles, stories and news from a variety of sources and still learn the pronunciation of new Chinese characters whilst enjoying my read. It is a great little app for anyone who is learning Chinese, no matter what level of understanding you are at. Highly recommended!
