About
HanziLens is a Chrome extension (in early development) that lets you snip Chinese text from your screen — movie subtitles, manga, comics — and instantly get the meaning, pinyin, and a word-by-word breakdown. The extension is available on the Chrome Web Store but is far from finished: no user accounts, no SRS/collections, no billing system, and many improvements planned. The codebase is clean TypeScript with a well-documented architecture, making it a good starting point for someone who wants to build on the foundation or learn from the approach. Currently early access with a small number of users.

looks cool, but how well does it handle different fonts and styles? seems risky for accuracy.
needs better OCR accuracy. what stack are you using for text recognition?
great idea, but needs more polish in the UI for a smoother experience.
interesting concept, what's the tech stack? looking forward to seeing the final implementation and pricing model.
snipping text from screen captures is a killer idea for learning Chinese, can't wait to see how it evolves!
