HanST - Chinese Converter

發 or 髮? "视频" is "影片" in Taiwan, and "软件" is "軟件" in Hong Kong but "軟體" in Taiwan — 繁簡相通 (HanST) is the Simplified–Traditional Chinese companion for Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau: it converts characters to regional standards, tells you how everyday things are said in each place, and shows exactly what changed. SIX CONVERSION MODES, TAIWAN & HONG KONG STANDARDS Simplified→Traditional (Taiwan), the same with phrasing, Simplified→Traditional (Hong Kong), Traditional→Simplified, and both Traditional variants back to Simplified with Mainland phrasing — one tap to switch. Long text converts in a before-and-after view, ready to proofread, copy and share. Powered by bundled OpenCC dictionaries, including Hong Kong glyph variants, with results as you type. DIFFERENCE PROOFREADING, NOT JUST CONVERSION Replacements are highlighted so you can see exactly what changed. Switch to a differences-only view for a faster review, then tap any changed term included in our phrasebook for its context, notes and examples. Share as plain text, a before-and-after image or a differences card; the Share Extension also shows a difference summary. 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. Polyphonic characters are fully covered — see every reading at a glance (和 has six) — built for writing, teaching and learning. A MAINLAND–TAIWAN–HK PHRASEBOOK, 934 SELF-BUILT 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/軟件, 充电宝/行動電源/尿袋 and 土豆/馬鈴薯, with 355 entries flagging distinct Hong Kong (or Macau) wording. Each entry comes with context notes and example sentences; shared expressions carry a “used on both sides” badge, while trap words warn you when the same word means something different. 446 REGIONAL EXPRESSIONS, INCLUDING HK & MACAU 84 Hong Kong Cantonese everyday terms with Jyutping and Cantonese audio (士多, 雪櫃, 飛髮, 埋單) and 15 Macau specials (葡撻, 馬介休, 幸運博彩), plus local sayings from 8 Mainland regions — Shanghai, Beijing, Sichuan-Chongqing, Minnan, Guangdong, Xi'an, Dongbei and Fuzhou — so dramas, danmu and marketplace chats stop being guesswork. DAILY WORD, FAVORITES REVIEW AND WIDGETS Reveal one trap word each day, or flip through saved favorites: tap to reveal, mark “still learning” or “got it”.
