  When you hover over some Chinese characters, it will show the Pinyin for it in a popup tile on the top right of the window.
  
  The pinyin is discreet and blends into the background, almost hidden if you will, ensuring your discretion and privacy.
  
  Why? Nobody wants to be caught looking up words in a dictionary.
  
  Additional Features:
  
  - Push the [Alt] key when hovering to show a definition too.
  
  - Push the [Shift] key and [Ctrl] key simultaneously to move the text to the vertical middle of the window temporarily for your viewing pleasure.
