Pasting Chinese is faster than "typing"
Use Lookup to find words in Chinese, then choose Copy from...
Speed "Typing" Chinese
Imagine "typing" Chinese almost as fast you type words in English! Even with a dedicated Chinese keyboard or a digitizing pad, entering Chinese characters is slow and tedious. Whether you're chatting with friends or making a witty comment in a conference call, Chinese Reader can help you enter Chinese faster than ever.
1. Open the Main window to the Lookup
tab
2. Search for "hello" and you'll find about six entries
3. Choose an entry, like nǐ
hǎo, right-click and choose
Copy from...
4. Choose from Simplified, Traditional, Pinyin,
Bopomofo or Definition to be copied to your clipboard
5. An alert will appear from the system tray (typically, bottom right corner of your screen) to show what is ready to be pasted
6. Go to your email, document or messaging application and paste (Ctrl+V)
6. Click on a character to enter it into your application (email, document)
Shortcuts
From any MDBG Chinese Reader window, you may right-click and selectively copy the Chinese you need. You may use these shortcuts, too.
About Lookup
If you're pasting Chinese, your application must also support Chinese. For example Windows Notepad support Chinese, but you'll need to save it with UTF-8 or Unicode encoding.
