SmartHanzi is on Mac App Store. However, in case of developer problem (COVID, etc.), the Mac App Store version as well as this website would disappear shortly from Internet.

Below is a link for a more durable “SL” (Second Life) version:

• The SL version can be (re)installed at any moment on the same machine or another one (backup the installer!)
• It receives updates in line with the Mac App Store version.
• Frequent users should prefer the durable (SL) version.

The application can pronounce texts or words with system voices (putonghua, Cantonese, etc.):
- Download preferred voices through Settings > Accessibility > Spoken content > System voice > Current voice > Manage voices.
- Once a voice is downloaded, it can be selected directly within the app.
