bryce1 Posted January 24, 2009 at 04:11 PM Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 at 04:11 PM Hello/大家好！ I am using a Chinese version of Firefox and learn some Chinese by using Lingoes.net pop-up program (which is quite excellent by the way - it works with all text in all programs, including menus, window text, set-up menus, etc. and gives you the pinyin/definition etc.) except there are times when I need it to recognize the characters in an actual mouse pop-up. What I mean is, when the mouse hovers over certain buttons on the right of the address bar (this is without Lingoes), the only explanation given is in text (in the form of a mouse pop-up). Can text like this be recognized by reading-assistant programs, such as Lingoes? (which itself works through mouse pop-ups) (hope everyone knows what I am talking about, by the normal mouse pop-ups when the mouse overs over certain icons in programs.. ) Thanks!! 谢谢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted January 25, 2009 at 09:52 AM Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 at 09:52 AM Tool-tips (or tool tips, or tooltips, I don't know) is the term you are looking for I think. I suspect the answer is no, though, as you'd need to move the mouse to hover over the characters, and by moving the mouse you'd make the tool-tip disappear. Don't have Lingoes installed though, so not sure . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
