Hi Taigi app icon

Hi Taigi

The dictionary is free, learning starts today. The Ministry of Education's Taiwanese dictionary in full and offline — 29,606 entries with all their audio — with free look-up-anywhere and camera lookup. Learning lives in Taigi Plus: lessons from your first greeting up to intermediate, everyday scenes and speaking practice. For iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro and Android, and in your browser.

Bee 台語 icon

Bee 台語

Taiwanese practice in the browser. Ten questions a day from the Ministry of Education dictionary, with audio questions and sentence ordering. Send your score to a friend and the next ten open up. No account, nothing to install.

Core app icon

Core: AI Writing Studio

A macOS app for people who write Japanese vertically. Manuscript, references and an AI editor that has read the whole project, all in one window. Mac, free.

Benkyo Wanko app icon

べんきょうわんこ (Benkyo Wanko)

A learning game for six-year-olds where caring for a puppy is the lesson: solve sums to feed it, trace kana to take it for a walk. Japanese only, no ads, works offline. iPhone and iPad.

Services

Websites and iOS apps

I take on website and iOS app projects — from planning and building through to release on the App Store.

  • Japanese
  • English
  • Simplified Chinese
  • Traditional Chinese

I work in all four languages myself, without outside translation services. Other languages are open to discussion.
