Cyath Posted November 2, 2016 at 10:57 AM Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 at 10:57 AM Currently using the Zhongwen add-on for Google Chrome to read webpages and such, it's proving very useful, but I would like to know if there was a program that could also give you the readings of the word on mouseover. (with voice, that is) Have Googled a bit but since the people on this forum seem to have incredible knowledge of Chinese resources, I thought I would take a shortcut and come here instead. Would also like to know if there is a similar program for offline content - i.e, text documents and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxi Posted November 2, 2016 at 04:06 PM Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 at 04:06 PM Chinese Reader 8 will do that, it will also work with Windows 10's Edge browser, and non-browser apps like Office or pdfs (some pdfs at least). It's not free but I find it very useful. You can download from the link above and try it for free for a couple of weeks. You can activate the automatic speech function by going to Settings>Speech and ticking 'Auto-Pronounce'. It'll drive you crazy Edit: yes, it works offline, the dictionary is saved in your system.

yifeng Posted November 4, 2016 at 03:01 AM Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 at 03:01 AM @Cyath Smart Chinese Reader 3.0 is designed for your purposes. It offers a built-in web broswer with a popup Chinese dictionary. To hear a word pronounced, click the SPEAKER icon on the popup dictionary, or press Ctrl + z. Moreover, as a Chinese learning software, it can segment a sentence into words, read aloud the whole sentence, translate it into Chinese, etc. Please refer to the post http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/50512-smart-chinese-reader-20/ and visit our website http://www.nlptool.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vellocet Posted November 6, 2016 at 03:18 AM Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 at 03:18 AM Installed Zhongwen, didn't know it existed. I was having all sorts of bizarre problems with Perapera. Once it was great, but no more. Kind of like nicku.com in that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
