Pinyinify is a tool that helps you to take Chinese text and separate it into individual words and add pinyin pronunciation guides above the characters.

You can click on a word to look it up in the dictionary and see the English definition. Once you know a word you can mark it as known, and the pinyin will not be displayed in the future. This will help your Chinese reading ability to progress.

The converted text can then be formatted and saved as a document that can be reloaded at a later date.
