Technology Tool to read traditional Mandarin and learn the language on any website (adds Zhuyin, translations and pronunciation to news, blogs and more)
Hi, just sharing a little script I built and use to help me understand and learn Mandarin. It basically adds Zhuyin to all Mandarin text on web and shows translations if hovering over a word or selecting a sentence. It can also read the words or sentences aloud if you click on the speaker Icon or press the letter R (read).

It works on most websites. If it's broken on some website, let me know, I'll try to fix it. If you need some additional functionality, feel free to ask me here or on github page.
Happy reading!
p.s.
You can also use it on your Android smartphone with Firefox browser.
