See the HSK level of every word.
Instant color-coded results.
Results show the overall HSK level, percentage of words at each level, and which words are above your current level — so you can judge if a text matches your reading ability.
Understanding the difficulty of Chinese text is essential for effective language learning. Reading material that is too easy provides no challenge; material that is too hard leads to frustration and guessing.
The HSK 3.0 standard defines 10,896 unique words across 9 levels, from HSK 1 (300 basic words) to HSK 7-9 (10,896 cumulative). The Text Analyzer maps every word in your text against this standard, giving you an objective difficulty measure rather than a subjective guess.
Use it to evaluate textbook passages, news articles, song lyrics, or any Chinese text before committing time to reading it. If more than 5% of words are two levels above yours, the text may be too difficult for comfortable reading.
