I hope support will be continued. Btw there's a pop-up on Chinese text in Wikipedia that's blocking your pop-up.

Read aloud is not accurate but otherwise perfect!

But how do I find the stroke order anumation?? It's counter intuitive

This is such a great extension! Snappy fast and I love that I can enable Zhuyin-only and a Taiwanese voice. My only feature request: I would love if it had a monolingual Chinese-Chinese dictionary option as well, for those of us masochistic enough to want to try target-language-ONLY lookups. ;) The Moedict extension has this and that's the only thing missing here.

It really IS the best free pop-up Chinese dictionary in the Chrome store. As an int-adv Chinese learner, I can't live without it! Very underrated. Able to, with a quick hover, see the meanings and pronunciations of compound words and idioms, as well as each individual word or character in the phrase. If you're still learning characters, the shift+hover feature is a great reference tool. The sound works for me, although with a delay, but the voice is very nice.

Awesome!! However, I don't think the keyboard shortcut to play the text-to-speech is working.

The read aloud is incorrect most of the time please fix it ,other than that the extension is great.

Great add-on! Thanks to the authors for this outstanding work. All is working smooth. Chose it finally for its balance of options available among other very close and remarkable alternatives. I have a (bug?) feature suggestion: when color tones are set, pinyin syllables display in new user colors. But zhuyin stays the same and is displayed in default colors. Also, can this be made, that not only pinyin/zhuyin syllables, but also hanzi characters themselves are displayed in different colors, based on their tone, i.e. the same color scheme as for pinyin (default or user defined)?
