MDBG Chinese Reader

Understand Chinese (almost) everywhere

Glide your mouse over Chinese text and MDBG Chinese Reader’s popup windows immediately explains the Chinese text across websites, browsers, applications--even the Windows file system. MDBG is the first truly immersive learning system that helps you understand Chinese--almost everywhere.

Chinese Reader's Universal Access is unique. Instead of installing a browser plug-in, toolbar or other widget, Chinese Reader's technology works within the Windows operating system so it works almost everywhere. If you can select and copy text to the clipboard, then Chinese Reader can help you understand its meaning from our 100,000 entry Chinese-English dictionary; Chinese-German and Chinese-French dictionaries are also available. With this dictionary installed on your computer, it's always available--even when the Internet is slow or unavailable.
