  Can also be used as a magnifier for small Chinese characters.
- As a learning aid it uses different colors for displaying the Pinyin syllables,
  depending on the tone of the Chinese character.
- Can be turned on and off with a single mouse-click.
- Highlights the characters whose translation is displayed in the popup window.
- Also supports keyboard navigation for translating the next character, the next word, or the
  previous character.
