Tip 1: Look up words by inputting Chinese character pinyin. Accepted pinyin input formats include "Pin1 Yin1", "Pin Yin", "Pin1Yin1" and "Pin1". An input string containing numbers will be treated as pinyin input. If there are no numbers, but the character string contains spaces, it will be treated as an English phrase and searched. If no results are found, it will be treated as pinyin input and researched.

Tip 2: By clicking History, you can view previous word lookups from your current browsing session. You can also save this list, or export it as a text file to a local device, facilitating subsequent study and review.
