Jade Chinese-English Dictionary - Browser Extension

Hover lookup, side-panel dictionary, HSK lists, practice, and Smart Review. Powered by Jade Dictionary.

Jade Dictionary is the fastest way to read Chinese on the web. Hover over any Chinese character and get an instant definition — no clicking, no copying, no switching tabs. INSTANT HOVER LOOKUP Move your cursor over Chinese text and a definition card appears in under a second. See the simplified and traditional forms, pinyin with tone marks, and up to three definitions. Works on any website — news, social media, blogs, YouTube subtitles, and more. THREE LOOKUP MODES • Auto — definitions appear automatically as you hover (default) • On Select — highlight any Chinese text to look it up, great for reading dense passages • Off — disable lookups entirely when you don't need them Switch modes instantly from the popup with a single click, or use the Alt+J keyboard shortcut to open Jade Dictionary from anywhere. SAVE WORDS AS YOU READ Found a word you want to remember? Click "+ Save" on the definition card to add it to your word list instantly. Use the dropdown arrow to save to a specific list instead of the default. Dismiss the card and a save button stays on screen so you never lose a word mid-sentence. ORGANIZE WITH LISTS AND FOLDERS Create as many word lists as you need and organize them into folders. Manage them from the popup or the side panel without leaving your page. SIDE PANEL STUDY APP Open the Jade side panel for a full desktop study surface: word of the day, sentence of the day, dictionary search, word detail with HSK badges, stroke order, character breakdown, related words, and example sentences, HSK 2.0/3.0 lists, premade topic lists, flashcards / quiz / tones / listening / match / handwriting, translate, OCR, and Smart Review (FSRS spaced repetition). Light or dark theme. The hover card and popup stay light; practice never runs on every webpage. BUILT-IN DICTIONARY SEARCH Open the popup (Alt+J) or the side panel and search Chinese, pinyin, or English across 120,000+ entries. Tap a result for full definitions, save it, or open it in the panel for strokes and review.
