Description
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.

I'm currently learning Mandarin for business, and I need someone to read my notes for me, so I can get an accurate sense of pinyin. This app has been amazing so far. You can alter the speed of the reading, and it is pretty good at deciphering my handwritten note. However, if I may suggest, I would hope that more optimization to enhance the accuracy on the reading could be done. Sometimes, the words are read in gibberish, so I could only try to edit the words again although the text are correct.

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

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:(
