Select, copy and learn
Whether you need help with a single word or several sentences, Loqu8's ClipboardScan is ready to help explain Chinese to you in English (and other languages). AutoPronounce will read the text aloud in Mandarin or Cantonese. Like a tireless tutor, it repeatedly pronounces each word as many times as you want. Faster or slower. With or without pauses between words.
- The top panel shows Auto-Translation, powered by Google and Microsoft. You'll have access to the best machine-based, cloud-based translation services--all without annoying advertisements.
- In the center Reading panel, hover your mouse over words or phrases.
- The lower Detail panel provides the full meaning, HSK proficiency level and more. Since no machine can provide perfect translation, be sure to view words and phrases from Loqu8's comprehensive Chinese-English dictionary. With over 114,000 entries including technology terms (smartphone, blog, virtual reality), company names (Baidu, Alibaba, Xiaomi) and names of entertainers and political leaders, you'll be able to confirm or enhance automated translations.
The ClipboardScan window also shows:
- Chinese (simplified and tradition) - characters are enlarged and shown with ColorTones. Easily view character and stroke details
- Pinyin (or Bopomofo) phonetics - guide pronunciation
- Meaning - definition (in English, et al.). Personalize definitions with your own meanings, usage notes and examples
- Add to Favorites - tag for future reference
