Products we build and run ourselves

A studio that only builds for other people slowly forgets what it costs to keep software alive. So we run our own products, with our own users, and our own support inbox.

The KoiSpeak web app: a search box that auto-detects Vietnamese, pinyin or Chinese, a word of the day, and cards of HSK vocabulary, grammar structures and Kangxi radicals.
KoiSpeak

Clean, fast, free Chinese dictionary

KoiSpeak is a bilingual Chinese-Vietnamese dictionary and learning platform. Its lookup auto-detects what you typed, whether Vietnamese, pinyin, or Chinese characters, so learners never have to think about input modes.

Around the dictionary sits a full study environment: grammar organised by HSK level, radical and handwriting lookup for characters you cannot type, flashcards for retention, and a reading room of authentic texts.

Inside the product

What KoiSpeak does

Smart lookup

Auto-detects Vietnamese, pinyin, or Chinese input and returns definitions, example sentences, and usage notes.

HSK grammar library

Grammar points organised by HSK level 1 to 6, so study follows the exam you are actually preparing for.

Radical lookup

Find any character through the Kangxi radical system when you know the shape but not the reading.

Handwriting & OCR

Draw a character or point a camera at one. Smart recognition turns it into a searchable entry.

Flashcards

Turn any lookup into a card and drill vocabulary until it sticks.

Reading room

Authentic texts with tap-to-look-up, so reading practice does not mean switching apps every sentence.

Vocabulary by topic

Curated sets for family, food, travel, work, school, and sport: the words learners need first.

Learning blog

Articles on grammar, exam strategy, and study habits, written for learners who want to go deeper.

Product studio

How we treat our own products

The same standards we hold client work to, applied where the consequences land on us.

01

Ship small, ship often

KoiSpeak went live as a dictionary and nothing else. Every feature since then earned its place with real usage.

02

Speed is a feature

A dictionary people reach for mid-sentence has to be instant. Performance budgets are set before design starts.

03

Free where it counts

Core lookup stays free. A learner who cannot pay should still be able to read the sentence in front of them.

Building a product of your own?

We have been through discovery, launch, app store review, and the long middle where you keep a product alive. We can shorten that road for you.
