I had posted this question earlier also i the same thread, but haven't got any solution as yet.. so posting it again in a hope that someone gives a solution . i am from india and new to the forum. I have been learning chinese for almost about a year. i wanted some tools learning chinese. maybe i am repeating the question, but the results that i found here are mainly focussed on windows OS. i am using mas os x 1.6. please help me in getting the following for free.

1. i wanted an OCR software that can convert images having chinese (simplified) characters into text. looking for readiris pro/corporate asian version, but not finding it..anyone has a better alternative or can help me with this software? in case someone knows of the link for windows software, please post it too..

2. a mouse over software that can give the meaning of chinese characters in safari while surfing chinese websites.

3. any other helpful softwares for mac os.

thanks in anticipation.

Key5 software is a Chinese-to-English popup software package that works in both Windows and Mac OS X. Go to www.cjkware.com to learn more about it.

I also like MDBG Chinese Reader that also works on Apple. Go to http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php to learn more about this one.

Good luck.

Just in case anyone searches and finds this like I did, please note that it is NOT for Mac OS. As quoted from their site 'Native Apple® Mac® OS X and Linux are not supported at this time.'
