What is novli.app?

Novli extracts Chinese text from images and provides instant translations, pinyin, and audio playback. Users snap photos of Chinese material—novels, HSK textbooks, or social media posts (小红书)—to get sentence-level lookups and contextual explanations. Built-in OCR and AI clarification let learners ask questions about passages and receive targeted answers.

One-tap export adds words and sentences to Anki-style flashcards for spaced-repetition review. The workflow shortens time spent on manual lookups and card creation, supporting faster vocabulary acquisition and reading practice. Target users include HSK students, self-learners, teachers, and anyone studying written Chinese.
