Chinese Toolbox 2011 is an advanced Chinese reading assistant for reading Chinese text. It incorporates a new system for learning Chinese unlike anything ever available in a computer program. Besides providing instant access to character definitions and word definitions, Chinese Toolbox 2011 helps you to reduce your dependency on dictionaries by identifying characters and words as Known, a system called Marking for Unassisted Reading. The new Context Links feature makes it possible to associate nearly any Chinese resource on the Internet with Chinese Toolbox. Chinese Toolbox 2011 also maintains all the documents that you import, so you can quickly switch to another previously studied document. Chinese Toolbox 2011 supports many other features and is being aggressively developed. Through minor beta updates (to begin within the next few months), new features will be made available sooner. If you try Chinese Toolbox 2011 and have a suggestion for how the program can be improved, please send an email with your comments.
