About Pinyin It Out
When you hover over some Chinese characters, it will show the Pinyin for it in a popup tile on the top right of the window.
The pinyin is discreet and blends into the background, almost hidden if you will, ensuring your discretion and privacy.
Why? Nobody wants to be caught looking up words in a dictionary.
Additional Features:
- Push the [Alt] key when hovering to show a definition too.
- Push the [Shift] key and [Ctrl] key simultaneously to move the text to the vertical middle of the window temporarily for your viewing pleasure.
- If the tile covers up the area you want to click on, double click the tile to hide it.
- Press the toolbar icon to turn on or off.
- Right click the toolbar icon to choose to enable this extension for a few minutes only.
