Copybook Club is an iOS app for creating Simplified Chinese handwriting worksheets from your own text, imported files, Word Packs, or words collected in interactive stories. It imports PDFs, photos, and DOCX files, recognizes Chinese text, and lets you edit the result before building a worksheet. Learn mode emphasizes distinct characters; Practice mode keeps the full text in order, while Word Packs supply ready-made vocabulary, including HSK 1–5 lists for HSK 2.0 and 3.0. Worksheets can include grids, pinyin, translations, tracing or fading, stroke-order guides, and adjustable fonts, cell sizes, and repetitions. You can write on worksheets with Apple Pencil on iPad or export A4 PDFs. The free plan allows three generations a week and up to two pages per worksheet, with selected tools and fonts, free Word Packs, two daily Ink Rush rounds, and PDF export. Ink Rush runs 60-second handwriting-memory rounds and checks stroke order and direction. Bookshelf has two free stories, and selected records, filled PDFs, and progress can sync through iCloud when available.
Who it is for
It suits learners who want to practice Simplified Chinese handwriting from their own material or ready-made vocabulary. It is not a full Chinese course, flashcard trainer, HSK progress tracker, handwriting grading tool, or personalized assessment.
