Show HN: I made a tool that generates your Chinese name based on your name

[zshaoz]

Hacked it together over the weekend. It can tell you the meaning of each character, how to write it and how to pronounce it!

Very neat, but audio doesn't work on desktop either. (Linux, Firefox) I had an old-school generated voice say "Chinese letter Chinese letter Chinese letter." It was definitely amusing, but I don't think that's what you were going for.

Oh, ok lemme check that out! thanks for highlighting!

[bobbiechen]

Neat. Reminds me of https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/03/21/beau-jessup-teen-pays-co... in the opposite direction.

Very nice! I see the pronunciation is in Cantonese but it gives the mandarin pinyin. Do you want to make it consistent?

[zshaoz]

Oh, maybe because the audio function will speak the chinese words according to your local settings. I should fix it, thanks for highlighting!

Audio doesn’t work on Ios.

Gave me two different responses when I tried different browsers.

Too bad only one of the character cards explain pronounciation.

[zshaoz]

Lemme check that out. Are you using Safari on iOS?

The responses are supposed to be randomly generated, it's powered by AI behind the scenes.

This is awesome! Just a heads up, I didn't get any pronunciation on web.

[zshaoz]

Can I check what browser and OS are you using?
