Chinese-English/English-Chinese dictionary + Pinyin annotator + Words separator + Chinese pin1yin1 IME.

CWS (Chinese words separator) is pronounced as Swiss.

The fastest Chinese dictionary. Lookups are instant.

"A study from 2008 showed that if spaces are placed after what are commonly regarded as words in Chinese, Chinese native speakers reading actually becomes faster and easier." -- Julesy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCSe3dgGVMQ

If the introduction of spacing provides measurable benefits for native Chinese readers, these benefits are likely to be even more pronounced for non-native readers.

Learn Chinese by reading, listening, and practicing speaking Chinese with this CWS army knife. Oh, and you can practice writing with it too.

This extension is amazing! Every feature I have ever wanted plus more than I hadn't thought I wanted is there. Just a note to those using HSK colour coding - I have realised that the HSK color coding is following HSK 3.0 (here: https://mandarinbean.com/new-hsk-vocabulary/) rather than 2.0. I think that makes sense for the new HSK 7-9 levels added with HSK 3.0 but for now HSK 1-6 vocabulary hasn't been implemented yet and it is planned to stay the same as 2.0 (as found here: https://hanpath.com/chinese/) for a few more years. For HSK 1-6 I would therefore recommend it follows the current format until it is changed. The only thing I'm missing is a less invasive option to save words since the current way to do so is to allow the extension to basically use your google spreadsheets through your google account which worries me a bit in terms of privacy. Otherwise incredible learning tool

The pop-up extension with the widest range of features and customizability options. The menu might seem a bit convoluted and some of the options could be explained better but just invest 15minutes, play around with it and you'll figure it out. Would love the developer to add some more features that would make this extension even more amazing. Very useful.

I believe this is the best pop up dictionary for chrome extension! Because this extension has many unique features, such as words separator, color coding by HSK, pinyin for every word and even a voice on hover.

I don't know why this plugin has so few users comparing to its very useful feature for new Chinese learner like me? - Pinyin explanation - Words separator - Voice on hover - Translation Definitely one of the best/must have chrome extension for me.

Great work, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. Just one suggestion: It would be great if it is possible to disable the extension for certain domains. For some pages, especially for dictionaries, it is quite inconvenient (example: https://dict.leo.org/chinesisch-deutsch/b%C3%B9x%C3%ACng ).
