• Read aloud — selected text in Cantonese, Mandarin, or English using your system voices
• Simplified ⇄ Traditional — convert entire pages between character sets (OpenCC)
• HSK 3.0 levels — see each character's proficiency level
• Flashcard builder — save words with one click, export to Anki or CSV
• Keyboard shortcuts — Alt+Shift+J/P/E to toggle annotations
