What does the Chinese Article Processor do?

The Article Processor analyzes Chinese text and provides: automatic HSK vocabulary identification and tagging, pinyin annotations for all characters, difficulty level assessment (recommended HSK level), vocabulary breakdown by HSK level (1-6), word frequency analysis, estimated reading time, total character and word count, and interactive learning features. Perfect for studying authentic Chinese content at your level.

How does HSK vocabulary analysis work?

The tool automatically identifies all HSK vocabulary words (levels 1-6) in your article and tags them with their corresponding HSK level. You get a complete breakdown showing: number of words at each HSK level, percentage distribution, overall difficulty score, and recommended HSK level for the article. This helps you choose reading materials appropriate for your proficiency level and identify new vocabulary to learn.

Can I process articles in Traditional Chinese?

Yes! The Article Processor supports both Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Simply select your source language before processing. The tool will accurately analyze vocabulary, add pinyin, and provide HSK breakdowns for both character systems. All features work identically for Traditional and Simplified Chinese.

What is the character limit for articles?

You can process articles up to 10,000 characters per submission. This is sufficient for most news articles, blog posts, and short stories. For longer content, split it into multiple articles or process the most relevant sections. Processing typically takes 30-60 seconds depending on article length and complexity.

How accurate is the difficulty assessment?

Difficulty assessment is based on HSK vocabulary distribution and word frequency. The tool calculates: percentage of words at each HSK level, ratio of known vs unknown vocabulary, sentence complexity, and overall readability score. Recommended HSK level indicates the minimum proficiency needed to understand 70-80% of the content. Accuracy is high for standard Chinese text; specialized technical or classical Chinese may require manual adjustment.

Can I save and study processed articles later?

Yes! All processed articles are automatically saved to your Reading Library. You can: access them anytime from the Articles page, track reading progress and completion, mark articles as completed, download articles for offline study, view vocabulary lists, and organize articles by difficulty level. Your reading history and progress are preserved across sessions.

What interactive features are available in processed articles?

Processed articles include: clickable words with instant definitions and HSK levels, toggle pinyin display on/off, highlight HSK vocabulary by level, vocabulary list with all HSK words, audio pronunciation for words, progress tracking, bookmark and favorite options, download as PDF or image, and collection organization. These features make studying authentic Chinese content interactive and effective.

Is the Article Processor free to use?

Yes, the Article Processor is free to use for all registered users.
