Why am I developing this new Hanzi To Pinyin Converter at hanzitopinyin.com?
Monday, September 1st, 2008
The BIG PICTURE is I want Chinese language learners to have maximum portability of their study materials.
Students should be able to build and share learning experiences with other learners.
One way is to encourage students to read news articles daily with Hanyu Pinyin displayed next to common characters. Students should be able to download the conversion, re-upload it to the cloud server of their choice and re-purpose the original conversion.
Developer Notes: Learning To Read Chinese Using Primezero’s Hanzi To Pinyin Converter
Saturday, August 30th, 2008
from my Developer Notes:
One of the cool things you can do with the Primezero Hanzi To Pinyin Converter is practice reading articles in Chinese.
When I first started learning Chinese, I used NJStar. However, it was not convenient to install NJStar CJK Word Processor to simply view a Hanzi To Pinyin Conversion of a simple text clipping.
So, I created my own Hanzi To Pinyin Converter.

It is still in development but you can try out some conversions now. I want this conversion utility to provide users the following features for now:
- Simple copy, paste and conversion functionality.
- Ability to copy and paste the converted Hanzi and pinyin into Microsoft Word documents and other applications for further annotation.
- Ability to jump over to the Primezero i18n Terminal to research individual characters and similar words.
- Flexibility to meet user requests for new features with extensibility baked into the code design.

Developer’s Notes
Introducing online Hanzi To Pinyin Conversion from Primezero i18n Terminal. You need to have a web browser (Firefox with Ruby XHTML Support Add-On, MSIE6 or later) that can read Ruby Characters. I am working on another version that will display the characters nicely for all web browsers. I wanted to get this version out.
Release early, release often.
