ChinaScribe 1.22

Versatile Chinese dictionary program that can be used to create or edit documents

The ChinaScribe application was designed to be a versatile Chinese dictionary program that can be used to create or edit Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org documents.


Creating and editing documents that contain Chinese characters and romanization (e.g. Pinyin) has previously been difficult for non-native speakers. ChinaScribe makes this much easier.




A Comprehensive Dictionary:
The ChinaScribe dictionary contains over 170,000 Chinese words. During installation you can choose to add English or German definitions or both.


You can add and amend dictionary entries. It is also possible to create dictionary definitions in other languages (e.g. French, Spanish etc).


You are able to import dictionary entries from other ChinaScribe users or from other dictionaries downloaded from the Internet, such as CC-CEDICT (Chinese-English) or HanDeDict (Chinese-German). It is also easy to export your dictionary entries to a file to share with others.


A Versatile Chinese Document Editor:
ChinaScribe can be used to insert Chinese words into Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org documents. Chinese characters or Pinyin can be inserted on their own. Alternatively, the Pinyin and/or definition can be included above the Chinese characters (as shown to the left).


ChinaScribe can also be used to ‘Pinyinize’ documents containing only Chinese characters. This is especially useful if you are learning Chinese, and are not yet familiar with many Chinese characters. Chinese characters pasted into Microsoft Word from the Internet (or some other source) can have the Pinyin and/or definitions automatically added by ChinaScribe.
