bopo
Read Chinese with 注音 beside the text.
Bopo adds Zhuyin (注音, also called Bopomofo) beside Traditional Chinese text in Safari. These pronunciation symbols are used in Taiwan. Select a word to save it with the sentence you found it in, then review it later or export it to Anki with Bopo Plus.
Here's how Bopo looks on a page. With the Safari extension on, select a word to see a short definition and save it.
Save
Every word keeps its sentence
Your library keeps each word with its sentence, source page, and date. Save a word again and the new sentence joins the old ones. Sort them into Learning and Known as you go.
Review
Review in context
Review a word in the sentence where you found it. Reveal the answer to see its Zhuyin, or use Bopo Plus to export your words and sentences to Anki.
Read
Less Zhuyin as you learn
With Bopo Plus, hide Zhuyin for words you mark Known. You can also choose a reading level to hide Zhuyin for common characters and focus on the ones you're still learning.
Zhuyin for everyday reading
Zhuyin beside each character
Zhuyin runs down the right of each character with its tone mark, as in books for young readers in Taiwan, or above it if you prefer.
Taiwanese Mandarin readings
Bopo uses Taiwanese Mandarin readings, with corrections based on Taiwan's Ministry of Education dictionary. It looks up whole words to distinguish readings such as 銀行 and 長大.
Read in Safari
Read news, blogs, and social feeds with Zhuyin. Bopo adds it as you scroll, and you can turn it off for individual sites.
Tone colors
With Bopo Plus, color Zhuyin by tone. Choose a palette from Pleco, MDBG, Hanping and more, or use your own colors.
