You can type or paste in GB-encoded text or the address of a Chinese web page. A <A HREF="annotate2.html">new version for teachers</A> is now available. You have several choices of how the text will be annotated: <OL> <LI><STRONG>Segment Only</STRONG>: In this option, the program will add spaces between the words in the text. No other information is added. <LI><STRONG>Add Dictionary Entries at status line</STRONG>: After segmenting the text, the program adds two kinds of ways of looking up the word. First, when the user puts the mouse over an underlined word, its pronounciation and definition will appear at the bottom of the browser, at the status line. If the user actually clicks on the underlined word, it will take them to the pronounciation and English definition as a footnote later on in the page. <LI><STRONG>Add Dictionary Entries as footnotes</STRONG>: This option is for users with older browsers that do not understand JavaScript. Holding the mouse over a word will do nothing, but clicking it on will still take the user to the definition in the footnotes. The file size is also smaller than option 2. <LI><STRONG>Convert to Pinyin</STRONG>: The program segments the text and uses that information to convert the Chinese characters to pinyin. Only the pinyin is shown in the results. <LI><STRONG>Add pinyin next to characters</StRONG>: The pronounciation of each character is indicated by adding pinyin by its side. No other information is added. <LI><B>Add Pinyin above Characters</B>: Add the pinyin above the character, in an annotation style called the ruby. Currently only works on Internet Explorer 5 (for other browsers the pinyin is placed next to the character). </OL> <P> Click <A HREF="annotate_sample.html">here</A> for an already annotated sample text. <P> The tool currently only handles GB-encoded text. Dictionary definitions are drawn from Paul Denisowski's <A HREF="http://www.mindspring.com/~paul_denisowski/cedict.html" target="_top">CEDICT</A> Chinese-English dictionary. If you find a word that does not have a definition, consider contributing it to the CEDICT project. The segmentation algorithm is still under development. Just what constitutes a "proper" Chinese word is also a good research topic. I will include my own guidelines at a later date. You can <A HREF="segmenter.html">download the segmenter code</A> (in perl) and run it yourself. You can also look up entries in CEDICT from my <A HREF="worddict.html">Chinese-English dictionary</A> page. <P> Please visit my <A HREF="contact.html">guestbook</A> to tell me you comments and suggestions for this tool.
