Hands Free Chinese

Posted on:June 30, 2025

Inspiration

Caring for a newborn means your hands are constantly occupied. I wanted a way to keep learning Chinese during those long hours of rocking or soothing a baby. Most flashcard apps require taps, swipes, or clicks. That doesn’t work when you’re holding a baby. So I built a tool that doesn’t require hands at all. It also serves people with limited hand mobility or anyone who prefers a low-effort way to study.

What it does

Hands Free Chinese is a web app that lets you study Chinese flashcards using just head tilts and sound.

There are no buttons, taps, or swipes. Just your face and your voice. You can use it while multitasking or relaxing.
