heianderen Posted September 21, 2004 at 11:13 AM Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 at 11:13 AM What do you think about WENLIN software? I bought it and I find it very usefull as a dictionary, and a big helper for reading chinese texts in electronic form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted September 21, 2004 at 11:59 AM Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 at 11:59 AM Moving to Textbooks and Resource - as a rough guide Chinese Computing is for the 'How can I use Chinese on my computer' stuff and 'Textbooks and Resources is 'How can I learn Chinese with my computer' stuff. There are already one or two Wenlin threads, but we might as well have another one. Roddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roddy Posted September 21, 2004 at 01:16 PM Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 at 01:16 PM No problem - there's quite often overlap between forums, and if there weren't already Wenlin threads in here, I would have just left it.

ChouDoufu Posted September 21, 2004 at 11:34 PM Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 at 11:34 PM It's a great dictionary. A nice tool for reading online texts, etc... But the interface SUCKS!!! why do i have to see a win 3.1 interface when I'm using winxp?? why do simple tasks require tedious actions (using the grabber tool requires clicking it for every word I want to grab. The mode doesn't stick). If it had an intuitive interface (or a readable help file-- use a windows help file, please??) it would be an absolutely incredible tool. If they added that look-up by multiple radicals that NJstar has, then it would be really nice too. It's so expensive.. why can't they hire a decent programmer?

badboy Posted September 23, 2004 at 03:13 AM Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 at 03:13 AM I think it's great, and much better than Clavis Sinica which has annoying bugs. The interface is okay, could look better, but not a concern for me. Glad I bought Wenlin, and have stopped using Clavis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heianderen Posted September 30, 2004 at 10:57 PM Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 at 10:57 PM Choudoufu I completely agree with you, GUI really sucks, it even doesn't use contextual menus it look like an old MSDOS graphic based interface. (Looks like the old Deluxe Paint) badboy, I've never used/seen Clavis Sinica, and I can't compare. But it is true, Wenlin is pretty estable.
