Loqu8 iCE

Open Settings to the General tab. In the Popup section (top, left side), you'll see these settings:

•  LiveScan is the most popular feature of Loqu8 iCE. Hover your mouse over a Chinese word and see a popup window reading the Chinese word(s) while showing you the English meaning and how to pronounce it (Pinyin or Bopomofo). Un-check to disable this function
• HighlightScan lets your understand a range of Chinese text. Highlight the Chinese text and Chinese Reader opens a HighlightScan window. An auto-translation provides a simplistic translation. Hover your mouse over the words in the reading panel to see dictionary-based meanings. Un-check to disable this function
• ClipboardScan helps you understand Chinese text in the widest range of applications. When you copy Chinese text using the shortcut Ctrl+C or menu command Edit > Copy, Loqu8 iCE opens the HighlightScan window, similar to HighlightScan (above). Un-check to disable clipboard monitoring
• Ctrl+Scan: Control precisely when Loqu8 iCE interacts with your text. Hold the Control (Ctrl) key while pointing at text (Ctrl+LiveScan) or highlighting text (Ctrl+HighlightScan) to open the LiveScan or HighlightScan windows

The next three settings control the size and location of the popup window, relative to your mouse pointer.

• Auto-height: Let the program adjust the height of the popup windows automatically
• Prefer right or Prefer bottom: The default is to open the popup window in the space above and to the left side. (I have mine configured for right and bottom; choose what works best for you.)

The next two settings allow you to control the window after it pops up.

• Pin to desktop: Freezes the popup window. This is the same as clicking the Pin icon
• Dismiss on click: After the popup window appears, clicking outside the window will close it

Tips

Loqu8 iCE uses Ctrl+C and the Windows clipboard. If your application is experiencing unusual behavior, you may limit Loqu8 iCE's interactions as you troubleshoot your applications.

• Un-check LiveScan and HighlightScan, check ClipboardScan. ClipboardScan is compatible with all well-behaved Windows applications
• Check Ctrl+Scan option. This resolves many application issues when using Loqu8 iCE only occasionally
