CT2012If you need to read Chinese and have some difficulty doing so, this program was created for you. Twenty years ago I could speak basic Chinese, but I needed a program for reading, one that would increase my reading efficiency, enable me to read more, and as a result, increase my spoken vocabulary. Chinese Toolbox helps me reach these goals, and it can help you too. Numerous tools built-in to the program help you focus your effort on learning Chinese. In this way, it’s easier than ever to quickly learn to read Chinese.

The best release of Chinese Toolbox is now available. Version 12.0.2.0 introduces a new flashcard export feature. Four new files are written via the “Export for flashcards” command. Use these files to import Chinese Toolbox character and word lists into your favorite flashcard program.
