  description

  ShowPFS adds Pha̍k-fa-sṳ (白話字, PFS) readings next to Hakfa text written in the MOE Hakfa Phonetic System (教育部客家語拼音方案) on web pages.
  
  When you visit an allowed site, the extension scans the page, detects MOE-style Hakfa phrases, and appends a parenthetical with the corresponding PFS reading.
  
  Examples:
    hiauˋ dedˋ    →  hiauˋ dedˋ (hiáu-tet)
    gaˊ           →  gaˊ (kâ)
    gonˊ ziinˊnaˇ →  gonˊ ziinˊnaˇ (kôn-chṳ̂n-nà)
  
  
  SUPPORTED TONE NOTATIONS
  
  The MOE system appears in dictionaries in three different tone formats — all are detected automatically:
    • 調型 (modifier letters): gaˊ, naˇ, hoˋ
    • 調號 (八聲 numbers):     ga1, na3, ho5
    • 調值 (Chao pitch):       ga24, na31, ho55
  
  Unmarked syllables (陰平 tone) are also detected and converted.
  
  
  DIALECTS
  
  Si-yen (四縣) and Nam Si-yen (南四縣) are both supported. When the two readings differ, both are shown separated by a slash.
  
  
  DEFAULT ALLOWED SITES
  
    • hakka.dict.edu.tw         (教育部臺灣客家語常用詞辭典)
    • hakkadict.moe.edu.tw      (教育部客家語辭典)

  You can add or remove sites from the popup. An on/off toggle lets you pause annotation site-wide without changing the allowlist.
  
  
  PRIVACY
  
  ShowPFS makes no network requests. Conversion runs entirely in your browser using a bundled Kotlin/JS library. Your allowlist is stored in chrome.storage.sync (Google account sync only — no third-party servers). No telemetry, no analytics, no tracking.

  Bug reports and contributions welcome.
  
  
  TERMINOLOGY
  
  This extension follows the Phakfasu naming conventions: the language is "Hakfa" (Hak-fa), the writing system is called "Roman Orthography", and the two dialects covered are Si-yen and Nam Si-yen.

  ShowPFS is a two-in-one reading aid for 客語 (Hakfa) on the web:
  
    1. ANNOTATOR — adds Pha̍k-fa-sṳ (白話字, PFS) readings next to Hakfa text written in the MOE Hakfa Phonetic System (教育部客家語拼音方案).
    2. DICTIONARY — pops up a built-in Hakkadict (教育部客家語辭典) entry whenever you select a Hakfa word, Hanji or Romanized.
  
  Both features run entirely in your browser. No network requests, no telemetry.
  
  
  1. ANNOTATOR
  
  When you visit an allowed site, the extension scans the page, detects MOE-style Hakfa phrases, and appends a parenthetical with the corresponding PFS reading.
  
  Examples:
    hiauˋ dedˋ    →  hiauˋ dedˋ (hiáu-tet)
    gaˊ           →  gaˊ (kâ)
    gonˊ ziinˊnaˇ →  gonˊ ziinˊnaˇ (kôn-chṳ̂n-nà)
  
  
  2. DICTIONARY (selection-based lookup)
  
  Select any Hakfa text on an allowed page — Hanji like 學得 or Romanized in any tone notation — and a small card appears next to the selection with the matching entry from the Ministry of Education Hakkadict (教育部客家語辭典) data: Si-yen / Nam Si-yen forms, PFS reading, KPPY pronunciation, gloss, and a sample sentence when available.
  
  The dictionary index (~35,000 entries) is bundled into the extension and queried entirely locally. No lookup request ever leaves your browser.
  
  You can also right-click a selection and choose "查客語辭典 (Hakfa Dictionary)" from the context menu to trigger the same card — handy on pages outside your annotation allowlist.
  
  
  SUPPORTED TONE NOTATIONS
  
  The MOE system appears in dictionaries in three different tone formats — all are detected automatically:
    • 調型: gaˊ, naˇ, hoˋ
    • 調號: ga1, na3, ho5
    • 調值: ga24, na31, ho55
  
  Unmarked syllables (陰平 tone) are also detected and converted.

  Entries are address prefixes — a URL is allowed when its host + path starts with the entry. The "/:" suffix on www.moedict.tw scopes annotation to the Hakka section.
  
  You can add or remove entries from the popup. An on/off toggle lets you pause annotation site-wide without changing the allowlist.
  
  
  PRIVACY
  
  ShowPFS makes no network requests. Both the KPPY→PFS conversion and the dictionary lookup index run entirely in your browser from bundled data. Your allowlist is stored in chrome.storage.sync (Google account sync only — no third-party servers). No telemetry, no analytics, no tracking.
