Mandarin Tools (DimSum)
On-line Chinese Tools
Mandarin Tools is a collection of free web-based utilities for people studying and using Chinese. Rather than functioning as a language course, it provides reference and lookup resources for learners and users who are already working with the language.
The site includes a character dictionary searchable by English, pinyin, radical/stroke, and Cantonese, a Chinese/English word dictionary, and the DimSum Chinese Reading Assistant. Other tools cover the Western/Chinese Calendar Converter, Chinese name generation, family relationships, measurements, number conversion, an on-line abacus, character drawing animations, Chinese chess rules, and a Chinese GIF Collection archive of character images indexed by Unicode value.
The tools are offered as free web pages with no stated plans, trials, editions, or seat-based or usage-based packaging.
