Wenlin (Lab)

An integrated reference package at your fingertips, Wenlin includes a Chinese/English/Chinese dictionary (in both simplified and traditional characters), a robust text editor, and unique "flashcard" system in one unified, extremely user-friendly application. Instant "point to" vocabulary look-up and "click" access to detailed vocabulary information are top features, but Wenlin also enables cross-referencing abilities, drills and reviews, stroke-by-stroke character display, and handwriting recognition. Automated drill and review includes scoring, tracking, interactive testing, multiple-choice and composed-answer. Unicode, GB, Big5, and UTF-8 encodings are supported. This is a multi-user pack, available for institutional customers. Individual licensed versions are also available. The Wenlin web site has great FAQs and technical support.
