Paste Chinese text and see its HSK level breakdown. Free HSK text analyzer showing word difficulty by level, what % is within HSK 1–6, and the harder words to learn.
Paste any Chinese text and instantly see how hard it is: the HSK level of each word, what share sits within HSK 1–6, the level you'd need to read ~95% of it, and a list of the harder words. Free, no signup.
Answer "is this text at my level?"
Picking reading material that's too hard is the fastest way to burn out; too easy and you don't grow. This analyzer gives you an objective read on difficulty before you commit:
- HSK breakdown — how many words fall in each level, HSK 1 through 6.
- Coverage — what percentage of the text is within HSK 1–6 at all.
- Level to read ~95% — the rough HSK level you'd need to follow most of it.
- Harder words — the HSK 4+ and beyond-HSK words worth pre-learning.
The sweet spot for reading practice is text where you know ~95% of the words already — enough to follow the meaning and pick up the rest from context.
How it works
The tool segments your text into words and looks each up against the HSK 1–6 vocabulary. Words outside HSK 1–6 are counted as "beyond." It's a strong estimate, though proper nouns and rare words will land in "beyond."
Turn a hard text into readable practice
If a text is above your level, you don't have to give up on it — read it with support. Paste the same text into Pinyora and every word becomes tappable for pinyin, meaning, and audio, with the hard ones easy to save and review.
Open Pinyora and read anything at your level.
Frequently asked questions
Which HSK version is this? It uses the widely-referenced HSK 1–6 vocabulary, the most common standard for learners and textbooks.
Why are some common words marked "beyond"? Names, rare words, and some function combinations aren't in the HSK 1–6 list, so they're grouped as "beyond."
