Four Conversion Modes, Taiwan Standard
Simplified→Traditional (Taiwan), the same with cross-strait phrasing, Traditional→Simplified, and the same with Mainland phrasing — one tap to switch. Long text converts in a side-by-side view, ready to proofread, copy and share. Powered by bundled OpenCC dictionaries, with results as you type.
One Character, Many Forms
One Simplified character often maps to several Traditional ones: 发→發 (發現) / 髮 (頭髮), 面→面 (見面) / 麵 (拉麵). Every candidate comes with example words, and a rice-grid character card shows zhuyin, pinyin, radical and stroke count. Zhuyin follows Taiwan-standard readings (CNS11643, MOE-adjudicated) — 垃圾 is ㄌㄜˋㄙㄜˋ, not lājī — built for writing, teaching and learning.
A Cross-Strait Phrasebook, 796 Entries
Seven categories — 3C tech, online shopping & logistics, drama & danmu, travel & transport, workplace, internet slang, and same-word-different-meaning traps — covering everyday differences like 软件/軟體, 充电宝/行動電源 and 土豆/馬鈴薯, each with context notes and example sentences; internet terms already common on both sides (like 彈幕 or 套路) carry a “Used on both sides” badge.
253 Mainland Regional Expressions
Local sayings from 6 regions — Shanghai, Beijing, Sichuan-Chongqing, Minnan, Guangdong and Xi'an — so dramas, danmu and marketplace chats stop being guesswork.
