User reviews
I’ve been using this app for about two years now, and honestly I can’t live without it anymore, I guess that also means my Chinese haven’t improved enough haha
So the "separating colors" feature for tone-based visualization is a complete game changer, it’s helped me remember pinyin visually thanks to this app, I’ve been complimented on my pronunciation by Chinese way more often, so I can’t thank you enough
I have one question though, do you know of any websites where I can use this extension effectively for TTS while practicing? I’ve been using Natural Reader, but it's noticeably slow when loading sentences, so it’s not great for chatting with Chinese speakers , with something like Google Translate’s voice feature the extension doesn’t get applied there, so I can’t see both the tones (colors) and hear the audio simultaneously. Any recommendations for a better website?
Thank you for creating such an amazing tool!

Love the extension. A minor usability request if it's possible: I have looked everywhere in the settings for a way to make the pop up dictionary appear above the current word instead of below and can't find a way. I am unable to use a mouse and keyboard due to a disability, so have to position the cursor over characters by voice command. Once the dictionary shows, it usually blocks the next line of text and i have to move it with another voice command to continue reading.
You largely have great keyboard shortcuts, so props for that, makes disabled folks's lives easier :-)

They add the option for pdf file and that is great, but it still doesn't work well on E-book. If they would make it work also on E-books would be great.
