• (2023-11-06) MeiAn Huang: It really IS the best free pop-up Chinese dictionary in the Chrome store. As an int-adv Chinese learner, I can't live without it! Very underrated. Able to, with a quick hover, see the meanings and pronunciations of compound words and idioms, as well as each individual word or character in the phrase. If you're still learning characters, the shift+hover feature is a great reference tool. The sound works for me, although with a delay, but the voice is very nice.
• (2023-09-20) OvO: This makes reading so much easier and really helped motivate me to read chinese novels to improve my chinese! Thanks to the genius that created this extention I am forever gratful!
• (2023-02-14) Hakan Alpay: character stroke order animation not working rn
• (2022-05-21) ikhwan: very helpful... been wondering in years about an app like this... thankfully, I just discovered this extension today... idk, should I be happy because found this app? or should I be sad because not discovered it years ago? but at last, this is [ a s t o u n d i n g ] [ a s t o n i s h i n g]
• (2022-03-22) Teksong Eap: The most excellent extension for reading chinese I have ever found, a must have, also quite customizable
• (2021-12-03) jenny4444js: Awesome!! However, I don't think the keyboard shortcut to play the text-to-speech is working.
• (2021-07-15) Muhammed Mostafa: The read aloud is incorrect most of the time please fix it ,other than that the extension is great.
• (2021-05-01) Mini Duos Samsung: Great add-on! Thanks to the authors for this outstanding work. All is working smooth. Chose it finally for its balance of options available among other very close and remarkable alternatives. I have a (bug?) feature suggestion: when color tones are set, pinyin syllables display in new user colors. But zhuyin stays the same and is displayed in default colors. Also, can this be made, that not only pinyin/zhuyin syllables, but also hanzi characters themselves are displayed in different colors, based on their tone, i.e. the same color scheme as for pinyin (default or user defined)?
• (2021-04-29) Awetewtewtew Awetwetw: please add an option to save the sentences and enable export options like on readlang.com, vocabtracker, rikaisama
• (2021-03-11) Angela K: thanks. can you also save the sentence swhen you save the word to the wordlist?
• (2021-01-09) Jennifer Woo: Amazing app with a live strokes gif! A perfect for any chinese learner. Would love one for Korean!
• (2020-12-21) Amatsu: Good extension but no read aloud feature when i press V
• (2020-10-13) ligiaung369 Jaw: Can someone tell me if I can use this on my Google Slides?0r Google documents.
• (2020-09-16) Kenneth H: it is an amazing extention, very very useful wehn you dont wanna constantly search things up
• (2020-09-06) Hak Han Koh (Han): It's good but please remove the keyboard shortcut buttons. I keep activating/deactivating them accidentally and it's really annoying. Update: The keyboard shortcut thing has been fixed! Thanks! But now it doesn't work with multiple characters in Google Docs :/
• (2020-09-05) Lee Silver: Great Extension! Best, I ever used, Finally I choose this after test. Even support voice with 'out loud' extension.
• (2020-08-07) Asaph Cheng Yao: Underated
• (2020-07-06) wallace: Best Extension! I changed to this ext. from similar popup ext. I do like the speak aloud option but I do hope I can hear voice w/o pressing "v", too. I saw a new dictionary "Koohii" added, but how come Japanese Kanji dictionary..., I hope u add one like Chinese-English dictionary "TrainChinese" or "Pleco" soon.
• (2020-04-08) Rex Gao: Great useful extension, but could you add a manual font selector? I prefer kaishu/regular script but the option for handwritten doesn't work for me
• (2020-02-26) Cedric (kuyaC): Would be cool if you added the option to show cantonese pronounciation. Alt+W often doesn't work to turn it off, especially during duolingo lessons. Often the character to the right of the one my mouse is over gets explained (very common in duolingo lessons again), or a character gets explained when my mouse isn't currently hovering above one. The word list doesn't synchronize across my devices. Edit: Thanks for the response
• (2020-02-10) Mark Sisley: Great extension. Any chance you could add the HSK level for full words? Char dict has it but I'd like full word HSK levels
• (2020-02-09) Hien Minh: This app helps me alot in study chinese. But I can't use it in google docs
• (2020-02-04) Nuntaporn Sridumrong: love this app
• (2019-10-02) Tetsuo Kyoda: Greatest application in the mouse-over Chinese dictionaries!!
• (2019-03-08) Eliseu Viana: Zhongwen: Chinese-English Dictionary nao tava ativando (08/03/2019) essa extensao me salvo
• (2019-03-05) Russell Young: Doesn't show in text entry. The functionality looks really good though.
• (2018-12-28) micom fa: not work in input text area.
• (2018-12-05) Justin Garrison: Hey, thank you so much for this extension! Is there any way that the zhuyin or pinyin display could be set to different dictionaries, like Taiwanese Mandarin ones? Also, the Alt + 1, Alt + 2, Alt + 3... extensions aren't working for me, but I'm on Windows.
• (2018-11-29) Barnabus Premier: Clean and efficient extension. Thank you! Just lack some simple features and better presentation. Feature: it would be better if users could fix the position of the floating window (when floating everywhere it can hide parts of the text) Presentation: for example, when the dictionary finds an expression (with 4 characters), to separate it clearly from the detailed vocabulary (meaning of each character), or use bold characters, that would improve the visibility.
• (2018-10-12) Xander Koo: Good extension, but pressing K still triggers the shortcut regardless of whether or not you have shortcuts enabled. Also, when you disable tone colors it doesn't do the same for bopomofo, and also displays bopomofo in a serif font regardless of your choice for the Chinese characters.
• (2018-05-11) Sean kim: very nice. unlike other popup dictionary it give us so many option including text speech. thanks for making this awesome webapp. ps is there any way to use this with google translator?
• (2018-04-04) Martin R: Excellent extension. my only problem is that I'm using a chromebook, so I can't use ALT-1 etc to look up example sentences, as chromebook uses those to launch other apps :(
• (2018-03-30) Việt Hùng Nguyễn: It's OK but frequently automatically disable pinyin and difinition display. I have to open Options and re-activate them many times. Removed.
• (2018-02-28) Jordan Schneider: YES YOU CAN CHANGE THE COLORS FOR THE TONES!
• (2017-12-20) Werner Sævland: Much better than all the alternatives! Keep up the good work :)
• (2017-09-20) Mel Gross: This is everything I wanted to combine from the two other "big" mandarin popup dictionaries, and then some!
• (2017-07-25) தந்தை ழுத்துக: Wow, 5 Stars, Really an improved version (easy look-up, pronunciation etc.) Great Work!
• (2017-03-08) Excellent!
• (2015-10-14) Twins Photographer: Love it! Just exactly what I want.
