ToneWick, a Chinese Reader with a Pronunciation Control Panel
A browser-based Chinese reading tool that adds pinyin, zhuyin, tone displays, dictionary lookups, Mandarin audio, and adjustable reading aids.
Field notes
The reading desk separates character, pinyin, tone, and website sizing, allowing learners to tune the page rather than accept one fixed study view. Audio can come from a device Mandarin voice or prepared narration, with word and character drills and follow-along timing. The site also exposes several reference systems for word-level underlines, including Taiwan TBCL and TOCFL alongside multiple HSK editions. Imported material is kept in the browser, while server narration is separately gated by an access key and consent.
