About Jade Chinese Dictionary - Browser Extension
🀄 Read Chinese on the web without leaving the page. Hover over any Chinese word for an instant definition, then keep learning in a full study panel that syncs with the Jade Dictionary Android app and web app.
👆 INSTANT HOVER LOOKUP
Move your cursor over Chinese text and a definition card appears right away: simplified and traditional forms, pinyin with tone marks, and the top definitions. Works on news sites, blogs, social media, subtitles and more. Choose Auto, On select, or Off from the popup.
🔊 LISTEN, SAVE, KEEP READING
• Tap Listen to hear the word
• Tap + Save to add it to a list (the arrow picks which list)
• Dismiss the card and the save button stays, so you never lose a word mid-sentence
🔎 SEARCH 120,000+ ENTRIES
Search by Chinese, pinyin or English from the popup (Alt+J) or the side panel. Type with the on-screen pinyin keyboard, draw a character, paste text, or use voice and OCR. Open any word for definitions, HSK badges, stroke order, character breakdown, related words and example sentences.
✍️ STROKE ORDER AND LOOKS-LIKE
Watch stroke-order animations in simplified, traditional or both, at your speed. The Looks like tab shows characters with similar shapes (未 / 末, 己 / 已 / 巳).
📚 LISTS, FOLDERS AND HSK
• Make as many lists as you like and sort them into folders
• Study HSK 2.0 and HSK 3.0 levels, or premade topic lists
• Export any list or HSK level to Anki in one click
🎯 PRACTICE IN THE SIDE PANEL
Flashcards, quiz, tones, listening, match and write, from your lists or any HSK level. Hear the word and see example sentences after you answer. Streaks and stats track your progress.
🧠 SMART REVIEW (SPACED REPETITION)
Smart Review schedules every word with FSRS so you see it just before you forget it. Set how many new cards and reviews you want per day, and the pace stays the same on the extension, the web app and Android.
📖 HSK 3.0 GRAMMAR
Level 1 is free: 77 patterns with pinyin on every pattern, plain explanations, example sentences with pinyin and common mistakes, and a Listen button. With the optional HSK Grammar Pack (bought in the Android app or on the web, never in the extension) you also get Levels 2–6, fill-in-the-blank practice and grammar cards in Smart Review.
🏮 FREE ADD-ONS
30,000+ chengyu (idioms) with meanings, origins and examples; xiehouyu two-part sayings; slang and culture words (躺平, 内卷, YYDS, festivals, food, etiquette); and a Chinese name generator built from real surname and character statistics. They download only when you open them.
📴 WORKS OFFLINE
Once installed, the dictionary, your lists, practice and Smart Review work without a connection. Translate, stroke order for characters you haven't opened yet, and sync need internet.
🌐 TRANSLATE
Paste Chinese or English text in the side panel to translate it, with pinyin above the Chinese and a button to listen.
☁️ SYNC WITH JADE DICTIONARY
Sign in with Google to sync your lists, practice stats, Smart Review and grammar lists with the Android app and the web app. Add-ons you unlock elsewhere work here too. No account is needed: everything works locally until you choose to sign in. Own Jade Assistant? The hover card also gets a Break down sentence button.
🔒 PRIVACY FIRST
The extension reads page text only to find Chinese under your cursor. No page content, browsing history or personal data from the sites you visit is collected or sent anywhere. Saved words stay on your device unless you sign in to sync. Add-on and browse files are public data downloaded when you open them; nothing about you or the page is sent with them.
🌙 LIGHT AND DARK
Dark or light theme, text size from XS to XL, optional tone-colored pinyin and Zhuyin (Bopomofo).
⌨️ KEYBOARD SHORTCUT
Alt+J opens the popup with the search field focused. Esc closes it.
