Displaying Pinyin Above Chinese Characters?

[ddxue]

Are there any IME's that allow for the displaying of pinyin above Chinese characters that I don't recall off the top of my head, for example if I hover over a character or highlight a character? It would a lot quicker to read the pinyin that pops up than copying and pasting the character into an online dictionary.

I don't follow. An IME is a system for entering characters. If you don't know the pinyin or the characters, how can you enter it?

Are you asking for a way to hover over text and it will show the meaning and the pinyin? If so, read this thread.

Sorry for any confusion, I was somehow thinking that an IME would bundle that functionality as well. Thanks a lot for the link though, I'll check it out!

There's also this. However I suspect you actually want one or another of the popup translation options.

I use this:

are you talking about annotation tools?

Try Adsotrans because it's simple:

I recently switched to Chrome from Firefox cause it's so much faster than Firefox and I found the "Zhongwen: A Chinese-English Popup Dictionary" extension is pretty good.
