Hanping Cantonese Dictionary
A separate app to the Mandarin dictionary, built on the same foundations — because Cantonese deserves its own dictionary rather than Mandarin's with a switch flipped.
Built on CantoDict
Learning Cantonese instead? Hanping Cantonese pairs the best-in-class CantoDict dictionary with the same app you'd get for Mandarin — the same search, the same handwriting recognition, the same offline behaviour.
• Traditional & Simplified Characters — suitable for both Hong Kong and Guangdong
• Multiple phonetic options — Jyutping (numbered & superscript) and Yale (tone-marked & numbered)
• Native speaker audio — for every single-syllable sound
• CantoDict entries — comprehensive, and careful to distinguish spoken from written Cantonese

Sentence audio
Example sentences from CantoDict and Words.hk can be played back in Hong Kong Cantonese voices, available as in‑app purchases. See the AI voice recordings documentation for how they work.
Everything else
The rest of Hanping works the same way here as it does in the Mandarin app — handwriting recognition, one search box for characters, romanisation or English, no adverts, and full offline operation. The documentation covers both apps.
