Description by Alex Viola Apps (from Google Play)

HOW TO USE NOVLI:

1. Snap a photo of a mandarin chinese text you want to read.

2. Tap on words to instantly translate them and see pinyn.

3. Explore the other features: add to Anki style flashcards in a single tap, ask AI questions about the text, listen to your text.

Novli works for images of textbooks, novels, social media posts, uploaded lecture notes, or any other Chinese text input you need.

We built Novli because when we were learning to read Chinese, it would always take ages to look up words in Pleco, find their pinyin, and add to our Anki flashcards. Now we can do this all from Novli in a few taps.

Comments on Novli - Learn Chinese for Android

★★★★★ Darwisyah Azam · Nov 19, 2025

So far, this app had been amazing, it read my textbook accurately with accurate pinyin and translation, flashcards feature is good, although it would be nice if it contains quiz for it aswell. I'd say it helped me memorize & understand chinese words better and not to mention convenient too. Overall I'm satisfied by it

★★★★★ Sameer Sachdeva · Oct 2, 2025

Great APP!!! The only app I came across that has a Chinese, Pinyin and Home Translation together that makes the learning process easier.

★★★★★ Fatema Rahimi · Nov 12, 2025

I really enjoy using Novli, it helps me improve my Chinese in a fun and easy way. Highly recommended ✨

★☆☆☆☆ GERMAN GUERRERO · Nov 3, 2025

This Novli app is so annoying! It doesn't allow proper multitasking. I can't have two apps open at the same time using split-screen, It takes forever to play the audio, and the text translation is a mess. In the folders where you save your texts, you can't even create subfolders! And it's too expensive to have these kinds of basic errors. I really hope you fix this, because you could be the best app for studying Chinese, but right now you're not even close.

★★☆☆☆ 任梅霞 · Aug 21, 2026

Not even a day of using the free trial since my one free scan was used up, the app was more infuriating to use because all the characters were scanned incorrectly and I spent more time fixing the errors than actually reading the book, which I hoped to do. I had to use another app, Pleco, to fix the characters and im atp of just using pleco just to do the intended functions of this app. Plus it's a one time purchase with the dictionary app than this app that scans incorrectly:(
