• Generates character writing worksheets with stroke sequences, English definitions and Pinyin in PDF format for offline handwriting practice. With one mouse click, you can generate worksheets for more than 100 characters instantly. The worksheets are highly customizable. It is also great for Chinese language teachers to create teaching materials. Here is a writing worksheet example
• Export character stroke sequences to JPEG or PNG images.
• Powerful and flexible character and phrase search solution. Users can search characters, phrases and example sentences in Chinese-English dictionary and sentence repository by Pinyin, radicals, English word, English phrase, English sentence, English sentence fragments, Chinese characters, Chinese phrases or Chinese sentence fragments. Furthermore, you can mix English, Chinese character or phrase and Pinyin in your search query. Search results are ordered by usage frequency and complexity
• Similar to the YouTube videos, the Character Animation Creator allows you to create embeddable and interactive character animations quickly. You can integrate the animations into your school or personal web pages.
• Chinese character decomposition explorer allows you to drill down into the character components one layer at a time. It helps you understand what components a character is made up from and how characters are related to each other
• Displays common example phrases and sentences using the character and their English translations
• ArchMemo, an innovative Spaced Repetition System (SRS) to help you learn Chinese characters and phrases efficiently and effectively. You can use the pre-defined flashcards or create your own.
• Features Chinese Radical Table to help users look up a character easily. The table lists all the radicals for the simplified Chinese characters with English being the tool tips. You can click a radical to view the characters with the radical. For some common radicals, such as 扌 and 木, there may be hundreds of characters with the radicals. The system allows you to perform two-level sorting, first level by stroke count, usage frequency or Pinyin (alphabetically), and second level by stroke count.
• Search characters by character components. You can either click the component of a character on the character animator, or enter a component on the search box of Search characters by components page to look up characters with the component. Again, the system allows the user to perform two-level sorting on the search results, first level by usage frequency, character structure or Pinyin (alphabetically), and second level by stroke count.

• Animates a character stroke by stroke, one character at a time or continuously animates all the characters you have imported or studied.
